I know that I can format code inline in both questions, and comments on SO. But this formatting with backticks, does not seem to work in chat.
Is there a reason for this? Also, is there a way to format code in chatting ?

2Note that chat MarkDown only works for single line messages. If you insert a linebreak, all markdown is rendered literally.– ManishearthCommented Jul 16, 2012 at 2:58

1@ManishEarth I find that it's a little erratic, sometimes it works, generally it doesn't. But more to the point, in a forum designed for discussing code, it's annoying that you can't accurately render code in the chat areas!– Robert RyanCommented Oct 13, 2012 at 20:47

1@robert markdown may not work, but you can always codeformat multiline messeges by clickibg the fixedwidth button. And backticks work normally in singleline messages. Btw, by multiline, I mean a message with an explicit line break, not a mesage that has wrapped.– ManishearthCommented Oct 14, 2012 at 4:17
