We're saying the same thing. The post that I was replying to said that the
problem went away if the code was in Courier. I was only pointing out that
there were circumstances in which you'd probably have to do something more.

In many circumstances you can't rely on the typeface alone. To a reader not

I don't think this would be a problem in the context of the document, and if
it did become a problem, then you could set off the entered code into a
seperate paragraph. If that didn't work, then some other sufficient
distinction could be made other than quotes, perhaps changing the background
color on the entered text to a light gray (just enough to show a
difference), font color, an underline, an obvious change in font size, or
something else. As long as you take into account requirements like Section
508 if your working with electronic/online docs, that is.
