Usage
Wraps short spans of source code (typically programming language keywords) in which line breaks are not allowed. This needs to be used instead of <code>...</code>, because keywords in some programming languages contain characters that can trigger a line break even after the first character of the keyword.
Example usage
For example, FORTH word (i.e. command) ?BRANCH contains a question mark.
Normally, you would write <code>?BRANCH</code> When the web browser sees the question mark near the end of line, the rendering could look like this:
some text that mentions ? BRANCH rest of the text
Usually, you want to force the question mark to be rendered next to the rest of the FORTH word.
When you use {{PreCode|?BRANCH}}, the resulting rendering will be never broken into two lines inside the source code.
