HTML provides some special block elements which you can use to code for text. For example, three of the most common elements that are as follows:
HTML Special Block Elements
| Block Element | Description |
|---|---|
| pre | Used for portions of code that are formatted with line breaks and spaces. Creates a block of pre-formatted text that preserves white-space and is displayed in a monospaced font. |
| blockquote | Used for quotations. Can be used with the cite and elements. |
| address | Used for contact information for the developer or owner of a website. |
These block elements identify the type of content that they contain. That's consistent with the way the HTML5 semantic elements are used.
Example
In the following example, it will create a pre block containing the JavaScript code and a blockquote for a quote and an address block to display the contact information.
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>HTML Special Block Elements</h1>
<p> The following is the JavaScript code written in pre block. </p>
<pre>
var today = new Date();
document.writeln( today.getFullYear() );
</pre>
<p>The following is the Ernest Hemingway quote:</p>
<blockquote>
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
</blockquote>
