Inline Code

[fredck]

There should be support for inline code markup, outputting the <code> HTML element.

[Reinmar]

We should also think about adding support for codes in the autoformatter. It'd be awesome if it supported `code`.

Another thing is an icon. cc @oleq.

And one last thing is whether all this will work in the engine. We didn't yet check whether preformatted text works for real (although, we anticipated it) and it requires a bit different rendering approach.

PS. When updating autoformatting, please don't forget to update its docs: https://ckeditor5.github.io/docs/nightly/ckeditor5/latest/features/autoformat.html

Ping me again when things become serious here ;-)

[Reinmar]

I'm pinging :D This is queued for @pomek to work on.

I would not worry about making it "preformatted" (in the model point of view) right now. A quick implementation that works just like bold and italic would do the job at this stage. A follow-up issue could come if we'll like to make this feature more complex later, so it handles spaces differently.

@pomek, ping me when you start dealing get advanced with this issue in your queue ;-)

If it will turn out that our space rendering algorithm fails to handle <code>, we can indeed disable it for now.

[fredck]

Btw, not even GH handles spaces inside inline code... so not sure if we should ever support it.

[fredck]

For example, I'm adding 10 spaces inside the quotes here: code( " " )

[Reinmar]

LOL... true :D

Anyway, this was taken care of a long time ago, so let's just see if it works.

Icon ideas so far:

Some improvements to make them feel more lightweight:

[fredck]

I like the </> idea... but I prefer even more the GH one, which is just <>, as it looks more balanced, visually.
