<SAMP></SAMP>

Display text as literal characters

Used to display text as literal characters which the browser usually does with mono-spaced fonts.

        <html>
        <head>
        <title>Some Title</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            .
            .
==>>    <SAMP>This is a sample of SAMP</SAMP>
            .
            .
        </body>
        </html>

I've never had the occasion to use this element.

HTML 3.0 Draft

Adds the language attributes.

Attributes common to almost all of the tags permitted in the document body include ID, LANG and CLASS. You probably won't be using any of these tags for a while but I've included them so you know they are coming.

ID: A name to be used as a target for links or for naming particular elements in a style sheet. These take the place of the HTML 2.0 <A NAME="somename">Some Name</A> construct that defines internal document links.
LANG: An ISO standard language abbreviation that defines language specific elements to be used.
CLASS: Used to assign a class name to a tag.
An example of these attributes in use is:: <SAMP ID="topicone" LANG="en-US" CLASS=section>xyz</SAMP>

Netscape

Nothing special.

Microsoft IE

Nothing special.

Internationalization

Nothing special.
