<xmp> HTML plain text rendering element
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects.
This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
The <xmp> HTML element renders text between the start and end tags without interpreting the HTML in between and using a monospaced font. The HTML2 specification recommended that it should be rendered wide enough to allow 80 characters per line.
Note:
Do not use this element.
- It has been deprecated since HTML3.2 and was not implemented in a consistent way. It was completely removed from current HTML.
- Use the
<pre> element or, if semantically adequate, the <code> element instead. Note that you will need to escape the < character as < and the & character as & to make sure they are not interpreted as markup.
- A monospaced font can also be obtained on any element, by applying an adequate CSS style using
monospace as the generic-font value for the font-family property.
This element has no other attributes than the global attributes, common to all elements.
- The
<pre> and <code> elements to be used instead.
- The
<plaintext> element, similar to <xmp> but also obsolete.
