When it is necessary to place a sample output from a computer program or script, the HTML5 <samp> tag has to be incorporated within the HTML document. It has to be placed before and after the sample.

There is no problem when it comes to using the HTML5 <samp> tag because it is recognized by the primary web browsers. It includes Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Even the Global Attributes and Event Attributes in HTML4 work well with the HTML5 <samp> tag.
