<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. -->
Wraps a short span of text in {{tag|code}} tags.  This template should be used for short samples; longer content should use {{tag|pre}} or {{tag|source}}.  See [[Help:Wiki markup]] for an explaination of what the various tags do.

If the content includes an equals sign (=), you must specify the parameter explicitly: <code><nowiki>{{code|1=date=30 Feb 2010}}</nowiki></code>.

The template uses the {{tl|nowiki}} tag to attempt to supress wiki markup interpretation.  This works on some things, but not others.   For example, <code><nowiki>{{code|some '''wiki''' text}}</nowiki></code> will '''''not''''' render the word "wiki" in bold, and will render the tripled-single-quotes:

:{{code|some '''wiki''' text}}

However, <code><nowiki>{{code|a {{template}} call}}</nowiki></code> will still invoke the template:

:{{code|a {{template}} call}}

This template does not need to be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]].
