Most HTML elements are enclosed between a start tag and an end tag, such as <p>...</p>. Some are not, such as <br>.

Misc tests

Sandbox code

Foo bar fee fi fo fum baz quux.
Foo bar <div id="quux" class="weasel-razor">blah blah blah</div> baz quux.
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! !

Spaces between proportional and monospaced segments are (depending on browser) precisely or very close to precisely the same as the spaces between characters inside the monospaced segment (which are necessarily larger than those between characters in the proportional segments).

Old code

Foo bar fee fi fo fum baz quux.
Foo bar <div id="quux" class="weasel-razor">blah blah blah</div> baz quux.
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! !

Spaces between proportional and monospaced segments are (depending on browser) farcically smaller than the spaces between characters inside the monospaced segment, making the content weird-looking and hard to parse.

Comparisons

Blow up your font size to twice normal or so, and get out a ruler.

Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((kbd)) (intentionally wider padding to match wider monospacing)
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((kbd|spacing=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((samp))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code/sandbox))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! <code>

For cases where the padding left or right is undesirable, use |l=n or |r=n (or any other value, like 'no" or "0", with either parameter:

Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code/sandbox|l=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code/sandbox|r=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code/sandbox|l=n|r=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code/sandbox))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code|l=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code|r=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code|l=n|r=n))
Measure me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ((code))

lang tests

Test cases

The declaration ((code |lang=cpp |int foo(const std::string& bar, const std::vector<long double*>& baz);)) is the prototype for a function defined later.
If the code contains an [[equals sign]], such as ((code |lang=javascript |code=var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img");))...
The following is an example of a main method in Java: ((code | public static void main(string[] args){ System.out.println("Hello world!"); } | java))
