Use <code> instead of <tt> for monospace in html5 backend #22

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The <tt> element has been deprecated in HTML 5 [1]. Since the HTML 5 backend is 
intended to output conforming HTML 5, the use of <tt> should be replaced by one 
of the inline literal elements recommended by the W3C. The most obvious choice 
is <code>.

"for computer code, consider the code element"

Here's the snippet from the AsciiDoc html5 backend that makes this switch:

[literal-inlinemacro]
<code>{passtext}</code>

[tags]
monospaced=<code{1? class="{1}"}>|</code>

[monospacedwords]
<code>{words}</code>
