Hmm, I don't agree. They are not 'values' in the Python sense - if I type 127.0.0.1 at a Python prompt I get a syntax error. They are no more values than integers and floats (less so, by the above definition), and we don't put any special markup around numbers. They would become values if wrapped in quotes to make them Python strings. So I would go for plain text with no quotes - it seems easier to read that way and much more in keeping with how I've seen them written elsewhere. If they appear in the sentence as text that must be typed, then use the double ticks. So I would have sentences like this: Note that the default IP address, 127.0.0.1, is not accessible from other machines on your network In the IP address field, enter ``127.0.0.1``.
