To display code...
Using:
<code>
a=a+1
</code>
in a html5, displays "a=a+1" almost correctly like code would look like.
Question: What other tag types are able to display code parts on a website like code (different than the text description)?
I want test them and choose a good one for my use.

Remember that the <code> tag is both a semantic marker and a kind of formatting directive. If you want your code display to break lines to fit into the browser's rendering window, you can leave it at that. If breaking the lines would mess up the code, you may want to include a <pre> tag (for pre-formatted text, text formatted by white space and other typographical conventions).
You can get fancier with CSS.

a=1+1
</pre>but i needed to have it like:

pre {
display: block;
font-family: monospace;
white-space: pre;
margin: 1em 0;
text-align:left;
}
But it is still centered. What am I doing wrong here?
