[wp-testers] HTML "code" tag in the Visual Editor?

[Rick Beckman]

Semantically, the PRE tag does not denote code, block-level or otherwise.
All it does is, as it says, preserve line breaks. The CODE tag is a semantic
tag which states, unsurprisingly, that the enclosed text is code.

Inline code gets the CODE tag; blocks of code get PRE & CODE, as used for a
few code examples here:

The lack of being able to use the CODE tag is a big omission. (The lack of
being able to easily create Definition Lists [DL, DT, and DD tags] in
TinyMCE is another omission I'm not at all happy about. At the very least,
there should be an "Wrap with Tag" option -- highlight some text, select
that option, and type in a tag. :-)
