You can use triple backticks <code>```</code> to mark code blocks:
<pre>
```
This will be monospaced
```
</pre>
Renders as:
```
This will be monospaced
```

To be interpreted correctly, the three backticks need to be at the start of the line and immediately followed by a line-break.
Be aware that any preceding paragraph content should be properly terminated with a double line break, too. So, this example is wrong:
<pre>
This is an ordinary paragraph
```
This will be monospaced
```
</pre>
The correct version is:
<pre>
This is an ordinary paragraph
```
This will be monospaced
```
</pre>

Note that some keyboard layouts treat the backtick as a [[dead key|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key]], making it hard to type. The trick is to type three backticks followed by a space. Alternatively, type all six backticks in one go, then a space, and then move the cursor back three characters to type or paste the content.
