Editing those pages in the above way, I figured out that it was actually 
designed to be something else. E.g., on this page:

http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Hook

what was presented to the users is:

How do I make a complex regular expression containing <tt>"(|)" and "\"</tt> in 
a *-hook/search work?

That is what the user would see in their Firefox or M$IE...

So what I did is better, since it is presented now:

How do I make a complex regular expression containing "(|)" and "\" in a 
*-hook/search work?

in that and in many other places.

However seeing this one (non-typical) place that I changed, I understood that 
the <tt> and </tt> were meant to be something else, distinguished from the 
surrounding strings, which they are not with my change to just bold.

However, I didn't know better, and the FAQ on the Wiki is now much more legible 
than before...
