KDoc: Insert code snippet

Question

How do I insert a code snippet in KDoc, Kotlin's default documentation tool?

In Java, I can use the following:

/**
 * Example usage:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <code>&#64;JavaAnnotation
 * public void foo() {
 *     // Code
 * }
 * </code>
 * </pre>
 */
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface JavaAnnotation {}

There seems to be no equivalent in Kotlin. I tried using Markdown, but inserting 2 spaces after line end does not line-break.

You can use triple backticks:

/**
 * Example usage:
 *
 * ```
 * @JavaAnnotation
 * public void foo() {
 *     // Code
 * }
 * ```
