How to display code blocks on the page

[noctivityinc]

This is an impressive framework but Im running into issues.

I'd like to display blocks of code, similar to the way bootstrap does, next to my examples of the style. I've tried this:

    
        what is this
    

But it is actually rendering the code as bold in that example and not displaying <strong>what is this</strong> as I expected.

How can I display blocks of code on the page without having to convert all the HTML into symbols, which would be massively inefficient?
