Wraps a short span of text in <code>...</code> tags. This template should be used for short samples; longer content should use <pre>...</pre> or <source>...</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|1=date=30 Feb 2010}}.

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

<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">some wiki text</syntaxhighlight>

However, {{code|a {{template}} call}} will still invoke the template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">a {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}} call</syntaxhighlight>

This template does not need to be substituted.
