I do use pre and code elements when marking up code in html but that's not really what I meant. What I mean is that when I look at pages like this:
http://processing.org/reference/index_ext.html
It leaves me wondering whether many of the other scripting languages like php, ruby, javascript, actionscript and python could each be visually displayed in a similar way and using standardised class names and markup structure for the methods and functions that are common throughout each language? A standardised markup format (uf) for this kind of programming language reference page would I think be quite useful.

Maybe with some class attributes on the <code> elements.

I prefer to use a block like

<pre><code class="html">&lt;!-- HTML code here --&gt;</code></pre>

unless the code is inline within a paragraph already. However, I've also seen the above pattern with the class name on the <pre> element instead of the <code> element, and I've seen this done without the <code> element at all. Not really sure which is "best," though the first seems the most straightforward to me.
