CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The output values of a SoftMax function have nice properties."

A block of code is set as follows:

model.net.MatMul(["A", "B"], "C")

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ sudo apt-get update
