If you are referring to an actual string constant

  "="

in the user's source code, then @code{"="} is correct.  If you are 
referring just to the single character

  =

in the user's source code, whether as a token on its own or as part of a 
larger token, then @samp{=} is the way to get it quoted (with the 
character being in a fixed-width font, but the quotes around it not being 
in such a font).
