There is not even a formal syntax defined; the reference is MW's parser.
You have to use HTML tags inside the markup to make literal text even!(These aren't really HTML; these are wikitext tags that are sometimes the same as HTML tags.) And why is that necessarily a bad thing? As I said, I find: <source lang=php> <? echo "Hello world!"; </source> more readable than:
<? echo "Hello world!";
