It's not verbatim. It does formatting. A trivial example:

  (a == '') || (b == '')

Will render as:

<pre>
(a == <emph>) || (b == </emph>)
</pre>

Wikimedia uses '[' and '{' for some special formatting directives. 
Asterisk uses them for some special dialplan directives. I can't think 
of a way that this clashes, but someone is bound to, eventually.
