Bastian,

The CODE tag has not been added as a subclass of CompositeTag, so you're 
getting the default behaviour -- just a simple NodeTag that has the name 
CODE.

Perhaps the 'phrase elements' (EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, 
CITE, ABBR, and ACRONYM see 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1) should be added. 
You can raise this as a request for enhancement (RFE) or you can do this 
yourself by copying another tag based on CompositeTag and editing it a 
bit, and then register the new tag with the PrototypicalNodeFactory:

    PrototypicalNodeFactory factory = new PrototypicalNodeFactory ();
    factory.registerTag (new MyCodeTag ());
    parser.setNodeFactory (factory);

See for example PrototypicalNodeFactory.registerTags().

The problem becomes detecting when the tag doesn't have a </CODE> like 
it should, so getEnders() and getEndTagEnders should probably have all 
the block level tag names.
