[edit] HTML Sample Text Element

<samp>...</samp> - The HTML Sample Text Element produces an inline element displayed in the browser's default monotype font (Lucida Console). This element was intended to identify sample output from a computer program.

[edit] Example

   Regular text. <samp>This is sample text.</samp> Regular text.

[edit] Result

Regular text. <samp>This is sample text.</samp> Regular text.

(This example appears not to work due to restrictions in the wiki software, but in real web pages it should be fine!)

[edit] Note

A CSS rule can be defined for the samp selector to override the browser's default font face. Preferences set by the user might take precedence over the specified CSS.
