example

Use example to contain both sample code (or similar artifacts) and the discussion that illustrates the sample. For example, a DITA topic about programming code could use the example element to contain both the sample code and the text that describes the code. Similarly, a sample that included preformatted text might use the pre element along with a paragraph or list to elaborate upon sections of that text.
