Sometimes I send pieces of code using Skype. Very often the text is messed up with smileys, and some brackets show up doubled.
Can I somehow send text that will not be transformed? Something like <pre>
in HTML.
EDIT ( 19 march 2015 ): In Win 8.1 Skype version 7.2.59.103 (for desktop) both nesono's answer and Nishanth C's answer are working.

For reference, here is the official list of Skype formatting escapes, under Formatting your instant messages.

note, the opening {code} has to be at the beginning of a line – Jens Frandsen – 2017-06-22T01:28:07.683
@IstvánZachar Skype formatting seems to have changed radically in the new Skype included as part of Windows 10 (I'm on Skype 12.7.597.0). I have asked a new question at Do not insert emoticons into sent messages in Skype version 12
