Description

Many of big players, as GitHub and StackOverflow, put inline code inside a inline block, with style very close to the pre style.

It would be interesting, for reading clarity and design purposes, that Redmine allow this kind of formatting. The closer we can get to inline code is with marks, that make monospaced fonts.

I suggest the adoption of the backtip (`) notation for inline code. The result should be similar to the following:

Source:
This is `my little` snippet.

Result:
This is my little snippet.

The current result was achieved with:

This is %{padding:3px; background-color: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2;}my little% snippet.

About the design, I'd like to also suggest border-radius: .25em; display: inline-block; for the sake of improving readability on inline block elements.

No problem dropping the backtips, my point is more about styling indeed (thanks for categorizing it). Maybe the @ marks (for inline code) could format with the boxed background. It renders a more readable code in the middle of the content than just a monospaced font.

In Redmine 2.5 or later, you can use backticks if you use Markdown as a text formatting markup.

The upcoming Redmine 4.1 sets background-color for inline code (#31343). They will be visually distinguishable.
