Well, `<code>` is a real HTML tag as well, and that didn't stop perlmonks from turning it into something different.	[reply]

In this case, I'd say "improved it" rather than "turning it into something different." Seems that the w3c 4.01 spec effectively requires a preceding <pre> to achieve what The Monastery does with a simple <code>...</code> or <c>...</c> See w3c or http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/phrase/code.html.

"improved" is a matter of opinion. You can't for instance use a line of code and highlight a section you want to focus because there's an implicit CDATA context inside. BTW, in HTML, `PRE` is a blocklevel element, while `CODE` is an inline element, so they aren't quite interchangable, nor can you not prepend every `CODE` element with `PRE`. IMO, it would have been better if Perlmonks just had `C` for code, and left the HTML `CODE` as is. But, IIRC, the `C` was introduced later as an alias for `CODE`.	[reply]
