How to format an inline code in Confluence?

Question

How can I format an inline code in Confluence like this? I mean, not a separate code block, but just inline classname, for example.

Answer 1

Surround your inline text with {{ }}.

Caveats:

1. You have to hit the spacebar after }}
2. You can't copy inline preformatted text and maintain it's look. If you do copy it you might not be able to add {{ }} to fix it. Just retype it or paste without formatting (Cmd ⌘+Shift+V on Mac) then add {{ }} and hit space.
3. If you add the {{ }} to existing text later, it can not be surrounded by other characters, e.g. if you want parenthesis around your preformatted text, you cannot fix (my text) by adding braces ({{my text}}). First add space around your text ( my text ) then add the {{ }}.
