Regarding copy and paste of the angled brackets, I would want the brackets copied too, especially if the inline code represented something more than just the tag name. Example: Display: "An element can be styled using using the *style* attribute (e.g. *<div style="padding: 1em;"></div>*) or via CSS selectors." Wiki input: "An element can be styled using using the <code>style</code> attribute (e.g. <code><div style="padding: 1em;"></div<</code>) or via CSS selectors." A blanket statement saying that all inline code should be wrapped in <code></code> seems sufficient to me. A contributor really shouldn't have to think so hard, or know so many rules about their writing situation, in order to contribute.
