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: "This object is represented by a Servlet interface."

A block of code is set as follows:

$ curl -X POST http://your-api-url:8080/events/<EVENT_ID
