I get the same output.

I don't get that. I get slanted monospace. Check the letter form of
the "a", if it has a hook on top it is not italics. It must depend on
the browser.

If I change the text inside @code to something else like "teest
monospace" it is easier to see that the font is monospace - see
attached image.

I don't like this idea because the browser should do the right thing
with the <code> tag anyway.
