<p> Oh, I dunno, a minimal, useful set of HTML isn't <i>that</i> 
painful. I've seen people, with a straight face, say that it's 
reasonable to put more effort into <tt>LaTeX</tt> or such things, so 
sprinkling in a little bit of HTML doesn't seem that bad to me. </p>

<pre>

   if ( you_have_code_to_embed() ) {
     wrap_it_in_a_pre_block_and_get_on_with_your_life();
   }

</pre>

<p> It could be better, sure, but for minimal HTML like this, a lot of 
the "solutions" I've heard of seem more cumbersome than the original 
problem they were supposed to solve. </p>

<p> YMMV. </p>
