Comment:

 From the examples post:
 > `<code>y</code>` is rendered as `<p><code>y</code></p>`

 Yes, this is the correct behavior.

 > `<code><pre>x</pre></code>` is "broken"

 This happens because `<code>` is an "inline" tag, like `<strong>` and
 `<em>`. It cannot contain "block" tags like `<pre>`, and it needs to be
 inside a paragraph in the editor, like any other text.

 Proper use would be either `text <code>code example</code> text` or
 `<pre><code>code example</code></pre>`.
