Just mark up your own text: it's not so hard to type <code>$foo->bar()</code> to get those characters to appear like $foo->bar() in the middle of a paragraph.

Likewise, here's a linebroken example.

<code>
$foo->bar();
</code>

$foo->bar();

Inside the CODE tags, those characters appear literally. That's what they're for.
