//! Code (text) is a construct that occurs in the [text][] content type.
//!
//! It forms with the following BNF:
//!
//! ```bnf
//! ; Restriction: the number of markers in the closing sequence must be equal
//! ; to the number of markers in the opening sequence.
//! code_text ::= sequence 1*code sequence
//!
//! sequence ::= 1*'`'
//! ```
//!
//! The above grammar shows that it is not possible to create empty code.
//! It is possible to include grave accents (ticks) in code, by wrapping it
//! in bigger or smaller sequences:
//!
//! ```markdown
//! Include more: `a``b` or include less: ``a`b``.
//! ```
//!
//! When turning markdown into HTML, each line ending is turned into a space.
//!
//! It is also possible to include just one grave accent (tick):
//!
//! ```markdown
//! Include just one: `` ` ``.
//! ```
//!
//! Sequences are “gready”, in that they cannot be preceded or succeeded by
//! more grave accents (ticks).
//! To illustrate:
//!
//! ```markdown
//! Not code: ``x`.
//!
//! Not code: `x``.
//!
//! Escapes work, this is code: \``x`.
//!
//! Escapes work, this is code: `x`\`.
//! ```
//!
//! Yields:
//!
//! ```html
//! <p>Not code: ``x`.</p>
//! <p>Not code: `x``.</p>
//! <p>Escapes work, this is code: `<code>x</code>.</p>
//! <p>Escapes work, this is code: <code>x</code>`.</p>
//! ```
//!
//! That is because, when turning markdown into HTML, the first and last space,
//! if both exist and there is also a non-space in the code, are removed.
//! Line endings, at that stage, are considered as spaces.
//!
//! Code (text) relates to the `<code>` element in HTML.
//! See [*§ 4.5.15 The `code` element*][html-code] in the HTML spec for more
//! info.
//!
//! In markdown, it is possible to create code with the
//! [code (fenced)][code_fenced] or [code (indented)][code_indented] constructs
//! in the [flow][] content type.
//! Compared to code (indented), fenced code is more explicit and more similar
//! to code (text), and it has support for specifying the programming language
//! that the code is in, so it is recommended to use that instead of indented
//! code.
