What is difference between <pre> and <code> HTML Tag?

html, html4

Solution

Don't go to w3schools. Check the w3c documentation for pre and code instead.

PRE:

The PRE element tells visual user agents that the enclosed text is "preformatted". When handling preformatted text, visual user agents:

- May leave white space intact.

- May render text with a fixed-pitch font.

- May disable automatic word wrap.

- Must not disable bidirectional processing.

CODE:

Designates a fragment of computer code.

Problem

How does a `<pre>` HTML tag differs from `<code>` html tag. I have checked on W3Schools page, it seems they are just the same. If there any major difference between them ?
