If JavaScript is the only type of "script" language you are using on the page, you can specify a BASE setting and not have to include the TYPE for each SCRIPT. This is commonly done when there are many areas of script within the page code.

The BASE setting is created using a META tag. These are other types of META tags that are discussed in the HTML section. As like other META tags, it is declared in the HEAD area of the page coding.

Before:

<Code
  language="html"
  text={`<html>
  <head>
    <title>
      This is my title
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      document.write("Hello there!");
    </script>
    <p>
      Some other text.
    <p>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      document.write("See you later!");
    </script>
  </body>
</html>`}
/>

After:

<Code
  language="html"
  text={`<html>
  <head>
    <title>
      This is my title
    </title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
  </head>
  <body>
    <script>
      document.write("Hello there!");
    </script>
    <p>
      Some other text.
    <p>
    <script>
      document.write("See you later!");
    </script>
  </body>
</html>`}
/>

Unless there are many scripts in the page coding, this does not cut down on too much typing. But, it does make it a bit easier and the option is there to use.
