Typographically, preformatted text is not the same thing as code. Sometimes, a faithful execution of the text requires preformatted text that may not have anything to do with code. For example:

Code

Code can be presented inline, like <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, or within a <pre> block.

We come from diverse backgrounds and are looking to create a special kind of housing in the Providence RI area, sometimes called ecoVillage and also known as cohousing.

In either case, it is private home ownership (usually as a condominium) with shared common spaces & activities.

In future postings, we will give examples of cohousing that has been built elsewhere in New England and the USA.
