Yes, <pre> is meant for longer code sequences. <code> can only be used
inside a paragraph and should be used for short inline code snippets.

E.g.,

    <pre>
    texture {
	pigment {
	    image_map {
		png "turm-c.png"
		map_type 2
	    }
	    scale <1, 17.5, 1>
	}
    }
    </pre>

    <p>
	In the example above, <code>map_type 2</code> is used to indicate
	cylindrical mapping.
    </p>

For visual effects (font families and sizes, colors, ...) a common style
sheet should be used.
