I can't figure out how to get it to display a block of, say, CSS code. It just 
runs it into one long sentence.

<nowiki></nowiki> will prevent any sort of typing being interpreted as wiki 
formatting.
<code></code> will change the text to a mono-spaced font and puts a light grey 
colour behind the text.
