The "formatting" in Savannah is one of the most annoying things about
it.  There _is_ markup available but it's limited and totally non-
standard (I understand that there wasn't much of a standard when
Savannah/Savane were being developed but that's not the case now).

To get verbatim text you have to write:

+verbatim+
my text here
-verbatim-

Any misspellings and it won't work.  And of course, there's no preview
capability and there's no way to edit comments once they're created...
