[textile] Use strong emphasis in a code block

Anyone know how to use emphasis in a code block? Like so:

This is a code block, with *strong* text.

Can’t see a way to do this..all I get is the asterisk instead of the bold…

Re: [textile] Use strong emphasis in a code block

This won’t work, ‘cause the all tags in the code block will not be parsed. The reason is: All between the generated <pre><code> and </code></pre> will not be formatted by browsers (HTML-Specs). It will be rendered as is.

It’s not a semantic HTML but you can give a block element (paragraph or some generic div) the appearance of a pre/code tag for instance:

p{overflow:auto;margin:1.5em 0;padding:5px;font-family:"Courier New",monospace;}. This is a code block, with *strong* text.

Won’t work in this forum, ‘cause the style attribute will be stripped.

Thanks trenc, won’t use your code as I don’t want to change the styles already created for pre/code etc, but thanks for your help!
