Research direction

Start by locating the C/C++ extension's tooltip handling and any configuration related to comment rendering. Check how the \code tag is currently treated and identify the relevant test entry point, if present. Done means a C/C++ comment containing \code renders correctly in the tooltip and the behavior is covered by a test.
