pre blocks. Either Scott's fixed that or I was seeing things. Anyway, looks great now.

#Comments pre code {padding: 8px 16px;}
for visual consistency with blockquotes.
@Andrew: Now you have me confused. The new CSS seems to work find, and I don't see any pre blocks surrounding inline code here?
pre block as well so adding the display: block to the pre environment has the same effect as it had on the code tag. I have a suspicion that I hacked Markdown to fix this. I'll take a look tomorrow.

#Comments pre code {…; display: block;} where … is the left border you took out of the declaration for code. So that inline code blocks will work like the non-inline ones used to:
This is a sample inline block.
It is three lines long,
indented by four spaces and surrounded by blank lines in the markdown source.
(@Andrew: pre-wrap must be CSS 3? I don't see anything about it in the CSS 2 spec. Later: Oh, never mind.)
vanilla.css and edit it. That's, in fact, the most annoying part because the file is "compacted" meaning that they took out all unnecessary whitespace - including line breaks! You can just replace it with vanilla.src.css from the src directory, or you can edit the vanilla.src.css, compactify it, and then replace vanilla.css with the compactified version. (I have a recollection of saying this before ...). Anyway, the bit you want to find is #Comments code. In there, there's a setting display: block;. Remove that. I also recommend making the white-space pre-wrap instead of pre.

The yellow backgrounds are for code:

Both are achieved using standard Markdown syntax (pretty much the same as on the main MO site): for quotations, prepend with >, for code, indent by at least four spaces. For more on the syntax, take a look at the original documentation
