   You're looking at a snippet of code on a blog.
   Do you find it useful to have a label to tell you what programming language it is written in?
   Why or why not?

   See attached for an example.

     Think I've settled on something like this.
     If there's no obvious logo, I'll just use plain text.

     (And, yes, the images have alt text. And the right ARIA label in the SVG. And there's fully semantic microdata.)

     @Edent is the microdata standardized at all?

     @ryanc I'm using Schema.org - 2nd example shows what I've got so far. Still noodling about with it.

     @Edent FWIW I make some of the code on my blog downloadable, which you might want to do. I generate static files, but you could turn the sample into a blob via JavaScript as well.
