SAMP is used to indicate a sample of text which should be used literally. For example, "The text <SAMP>General Protection Fault</SAMP> is well known to Windows users."

It differs from KBD text in that KBD text indicates text the user must enter, whereas SAMP text can also be output.

Notes:

Do not use SAMP if your text requires a monospaced font; use TT instead.
