For several preformatted lines, [@@] works better than [==] .

   [@
   Some lines
   of code...
   @]

You can indent the block with

   ->[@
   Some lines
   of code...
   @]

If you want to style the block, remember to put "block" in the wikistyle.

   ->%block background-color=#f7f7f7 padding=3px%[@
   Some lines
   of code...
   @]

If you'll style multiple blocks, you can define the wikistyle and reuse it

   %define=codeblock block indent background-color=#f7f7f7 padding=3px%

   %codeblock%[@
   Some lines
   of code...
   @]

   %codeblock%[@
   Some more lines
   of code...
   @]
