How about this?

If you do {{{this}}} in your text, the word "this" will be in
monospace font and the rest of the text will be in plain text.

If you do:

{{{
this
}}}

Then the word "this" will be in a colored box on the screen. The box
will be aligned to the left.

If you want to indent the box, add a space before the first set of
brackets, like:

 {{{
this
}}}

Then "this" would be in a box that's indented and not aligned left.
This is useful for when you have a:

 * bulleted
 * list
 {{{
and want to include code that's indented like your list.
}}}

Each space you use will add another level of indentation.

This page uses both methods, so you can see it in action:
