Hope this helps!

* Context

There are clearly 3 key "concepts" to be able to distinguish in nice HTML
output:

- Code fragments :: text files that use the specific numbers of spaces and
  characters to line things up.

- Sample output :: Output from programs, scripts or commands.

- Text giving instructions :: Typically used for quoting passages of an email
  message.

* Examples

** Code fragment

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(update this-var)
(echo "OK")
#+end_src

** Sample output

The results of code execution is currently (or /was/ -- I need to test the
patch of Eric) translated into HTML as EXAMPLE.

#+begin_src sh :results output :exports both
ls *.org
#+end_src

#+results:
| Agenda-Sorting-Strategy.org |
| Clock-Report.org            |
| org-beamer-fpu-rules.org    |
| org-hist.org                |

** Text giving instructions

EXAMPLE begin taken, if I want another "verbatim" environment, the only left
to me, in HTML, is VERSE.

#+begin_verse
Hi Seb,

In addition to the Org example, would you mind supplying a concise,
explicit statement of what the putative bug is?  With just the Org
example on its own:

- the bug is implicit and
- I at least feel that I'm having to work hard to get there!

Dan

*I'd expect to see all the above passage from the email to be uninterpreted*. It
is not acting that way.

See attachment for what I'm heading to.

Thanks for sharing this... Always interesting to see what others do, what does
help them in their workflows...

Best regards,
  Seb
