Code, pre and source background

Code and source elements

By default code and source elements do not have any background.

If the command-line codeHasBackground option or the configuration codeHasBackground option is set to true, these elements will have a background similar to the code background in Wikipedia.

Alternatively, the "background" attribute on a code and source element allows to specify it for one of these elements only. The possible values are:

• "true": the element will have a background regardless of the value of the "codeHasBackground" option
• "false": the element will not have a background regardless of the value of the "codeHasBackground" option
• "default": the element will have a background as specified by the value of the "codeHasBackground" option (same as if the attribute is not present)

Pre elements

By default pre elements do not have any background nor border, except if the "boxed", "border", or "color" attributes are used.

If the command-line preHasBackground option or the configuration preHasBackground option is set to true, these elements will have a background similar to the code background in Wikipedia.

Alternatively, the "background" attribute on a pre element allows to specify it for one of these elements only. The possible values are:

• "true": the element will have a background regardless of the value of the "preHasBackground" option
• "false": the element will not have a background regardless of the value of the "preHasBackground" option
• "default": the element will have a background as specified by the value of the "preHasBackground" option (same as if the attribute is not present)

Note that if you specify the "boxed", "border", or "color" attributes for a pre element, then the preHasBackground property will not have any effect on this element.

Examples

The two following examples show the result of the following "pre" and "code" elements:

   The pre element:
   <pre>
   This is the first line
   This is the second line
   This is a line with < and > characters
   </pre>


   The <code>code</code> element
