How do you typeset code elements in normal text? *

Question

What is the best way to typeset a function with arguments for readibility, brevity, and accuracy? I tend to put empty parentheses after the function name like func(), even if there are actually arguments for the function. I have trouble including the arguments and still feeling like the paragraph is readable.

Any thoughts on best practices for this?

Answer

I usually take that approach, but if I feel like it's going to cause confusion, I'll use ellipses like: myFunction(...)

I guess if I were good, I would use those any time I was omitting parameters from a function in text.
