== Code Snippets ==
Code snippets are pretty easy to do and depend if you want something inline or in a block.
* An inline code snippet uses <code><</code><code>code</code><code>></code> to open the code, and <code></</code><code>code</code><code>></code> to close it, however if you use some actual WikiMedia markup in there, it will be processed, so will not appear properly.
* If you want to do a block of code and ensure it appears properly, for example source code or indeed many lines in this article itself, use <code><</code><code>pre</code><code>></code> to open the the block, and <code></</code><code>pre</code><code>></code> to close it. For example:
<pre>
<pre>
Here is my block of code
Multiple lines will work in this instance without leaving double spaces
&lt;/pre>
</pre>
