Unfortunately, t</font>he documentation contradicts itself, leaving me confuzzled:</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>"To style code within the text of an article, such as listing the index.php template file, use the <tt> tag to wrap the code within a sentence. <code> tags also work, but in the past they used an annoying blue background. Stick with <tt> to be safe." (<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Styles#Using_Codes_in_the_Codex">http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Styles#Using_Codes_in_the_Codex</a>)<br>
<br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">"There are two HTML tags which will turn text into monospaced type. They are <code> and <tt>. The latter is rarely used today, replaced by the more useful and semantically correct <code>, which distinguishes text that is computer code from normal language."
