I thought code was an extension-like preprocessor tag.
Afaik it's just a whitelisted HTML tag. It's treated that way by setupAttributeWhitelist() and removeHTMLtags() in Sanitizer.php.
Interestingly, something (Tidy?) goes out of its way to support this behaviour. This code:
foo<b>blah
blah
renders as:
<p>foo<b>blah</b></p>
<p><b>blah</b></p> ----
So whereas an unclosed ''' is closed at the end of the paragraph (by doAllQuotes()), an unclosed <b> is closed then explicitly re-opened in the next paragraph (and then closed, re-opened etc).
I hadn't appreciated that difference between ''' and <b> before.
imho there should be no difference between them. If they behave differently, then that is a bug...
