How do I use code formatting in posts on IF Answers?

Question

I have had not entirely an easy time figuring out how to format code properly in IFAnswers. I copied some code from the intfiction forum and it was automatically formatted as code, which was great, but then I couldn't figure out how to type anything that wasn't code after that and not have it formatted as code.

Eventually I typed some paragraph breaks in my non-code-formatted stuff and copy-pasted that whenever I needed to start a new paragraph that wasn't formatted as code, but that was less than ideal. Is there a simple HTMLish tag I can use for code formatting when typing a question/answer?

I haven't figured that out, however we will probably be changing the editor soon. Hopefully the new one will be much easier for code.

I guess a temporary workaround could be to use the "formatted" option in the text. The pull-down box that says "normal" could be changed. "Formatted" is the bottom option for me, and it has fixed-width code, which is different enough that people will be able to tell it's code.

They've changed the editor, so you can now use the { } button for code. The code indentation seems to be preserved best if I first paste in the code, then highlight it and press the { } button, rather than starting with the { } button and then pasting in the code.

Trying to use bullets in the same post seems to throw off the code formatting, though. I haven't been able to figure out a way to make both bullets and code display correctly in the same post.
