Subsection 4.4.2 Longer, Inline, Verbatim Text
For longer pieces of verbatim text, use the
<cd>
tag, which is short for “code display”, analogous to the <md>
for mathematics. It is used within sentences of a paragraph and will be presented with a vertical break above and below, but without interrupting the paragraph. Because of the display presentation, it cannot be used other places, such as a <title>
, where a vertical gap is not appropriate. All of the previous discussion about exceptional characters applies for this tag.You have two options in use. You may author inline with the rest of a sentence, with no extra newlines or whitespace before, after, or within the content. The result will be a single displayed line.
Or you may structure the content using one, or more, of the
<cline>
tag, which is meant to be similar to the <line>
tag used elsewhere. You should still take care to not place any extra whitespace before or after the <cd>
element, but in between the <cline>
you may use as much visual formatting of your source as you wish, especially if you like your source to mirror your output.
