I have found the easiest approach is to cut and paste the code into the
design view of Dreamweaver. This will translate all of the <,> and other
symbols into the &amp; style codes and your web page will display them
correctly.  Try wrapping the snippet in <code></code> tags. 
The most effective approach that I have seen so far is to put each line
in an ordered list, and applying styles to make it more readable. I'm
not sure if this would make it more usable.

Subject: [WSG] Quoting Code Snippets


I've been looking around on the web for a little bit and can't find the
answer to my question. If it's rudimentary, please forgive me. 

How do I properly quote code (eg. Perl) in a webpage and have it display
properly? The <code> element seems the most appropriate for the job but
it does not maintain indents or line breaks. 

Thanks in advance, 

Diona
