Code

Bootstrap 4 allows for single lines of code to be formatted using the code element or code class. By applying this class, Bootstrap gives the element some extra padding, decreases the font-size of the text contained within the element, applies a border radius, and changes the foreground and background color:

<code>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
</code>

Refer to Figure 8.11 to see the class in action:

To format blocks of code (that is, multiple lines), the pre element or class should be used. This class does the following:

• Sets the display property to block

• Reduces the font size

• Changes the foreground color to #212529

• Adjusts the element's margin
