 * `<code>` is an inline element in HTML, so it is not a good idea to replaces it
   with `<div class="codesnip-container" >`, a block element, as Code Snippet does.
 * Why does Code Snippet act on `<code>` anyway? It says in the FAQ not to use this
   tag.

 * Agreed. The modification of < code > elements is unnecessary and unwanted.
