Add support for formatting of inline code snippets

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It's often useful to put code snippets inline with prose. If the snippet is very short, breaking the paragraph flow for a code block is disruptive. It looks much better to put it inline and simply render it in a monospaced font. This is especially useful when discussing command line flags or identifiers used in a code block.

      In JIRA it's possible to do this with double curly braces, for example {{someIdentifier}}. Unfortunately no such facility exists for Answers. I think a button should be added to the inline formatting set (with bold and italic) which applies a monospaced font.
