Equivalent for markdown's `` in XeLaTex

Question

Sometimes I want to cite stuff such as commands or library names etc etc. Over markdown I use the `somestuff` citation. But how I can do similar ting in tex?

Answer 1

To complete @egreg's comment, you can use the tcolorbox package to obtain the required format.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\newtcbox{\somestuffstyle}{on line,boxrule=0pt,boxsep=0pt,colback=lightgray,top=1pt,bottom=1pt,left=1pt,right=1pt,arc=0pt,fontupper=\ttfamily}
\begin{document}
\somestuffstyle{somestuff}
\end{document}
