== Quote marks around code examples ==

Is there any reason why long sections of this have quote marks around the code examples? This seems strange and potentially confusing formatting, with the risk that people will think they have to type the quote marks, besides being redundant and distracting.

Surely part of the point of using <code>code</code> style is that the text can be shown exactly as entered, without needing punctuation?

'''Edit:''' OK, I see that one user unilaterally put them in. Unfortunately, it looks as though there are also now places where <code>'''''bold italic code'''''</code> was taken out of code style altogether, so the typography doesn't match the opening explanation of how it's used.

:'''Update:''' I think I've now repaired the ''Brief syntax'' section, at least. I wanted to read up about the syntax and was finding the quote marks and changed formatting impossibly distracting.{{pb}}I didn't simply revert the edits that added them, as it looked a bit too risky a process that might lose good edits as well.
