I'd like to distinguish between regular text and code, maybe have quotes, etc.

You can write with email plain text conventions. The forum software recognizes just some of it,  but the readers will know what you mean.

So like quote lines get leading `>` (forum parses this). You can put `---` or ``` around code blocks (people know what you mean), stuff like that.

A poster has come up with a standard way to delineate code and also show if multiple files are involved (along with an "extraction to files" program):

This method now works at https://run.dlang.io
