Yes, I’m completely rewriting this post. No, I have no guilt over doing so.

Figured out how to get a working <code> replacement tag, given that the code tag doesn’t handle newlines nicely and doesn’t color the background the way I want. I added the following to wp-content/themes/default/style.css:

pre.code {
    margin: 15px 10px 0px 10px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-family: monospace;
    font-size: medium;
    background-color: rgb(255, 230, 230);
}

Now whenever I want to add a code block I surround the content like this:

<pre class="code">
my code
</pre>

Angle brackets still have to be replaced with their respective entities (as I found typing the above example), and when in a markup tag (between angle brackets) quotation marks must be replaced with entities too:

< > "

Coolness!
