Decide for monospaced text syntax in RST files

[Stannislav]

There are different ways to get monospaced font in docs:

• :code:`stuff`
• `stuff`
• ``stuff``

According to the some docs

• `stuff` = interpreted text
• ``stuff`` = inline literal

Usually when I want monospaced text in rst I go for ``stuff``. Is :code:`stuff` going to add some additional functionality/highlighting?

Is :code:`stuff` part of the rst syntax or is it specifi to Sphinx?
