Type of content contained in the Preformatted Text element (for example, computer code, poetry, pseudocode, ASCII art, XML tagging).
Many journal tag sets make a distinction between different types of preformatted text
(some by means of attributes, others with distinct elements). In this Tag Set, all
these figure types will be tagged using the <preformat> element. The distinctions between different types of preformatted text can be preserved
using the @preformat-type attribute, for example, by recording the content type of the text, such as computer code
.
