An alternative way to
publish literal code examples in HTML is to use text areas, where
the example can even be edited before pasting it into an
application. It is triggered by a -t switch at an
example or src block. Using this switch
disables any options for syntax and label highlighting, and line
numbering, which may be present. You may also use -h
and -w switches to specify the height and width of
the text area, which default to the number of lines in the
example, and 80, respectively. For example
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE -t -w 40
(defun org-xor (a b)
"Exclusive or."
(if a (not b) b))
#+END_EXAMPLE
