It does work, but you're missing the extra tweaks that the example at
the link includes.   Try this, for example:

\relative c' {
  c4 c c c
  \tweak #'self-alignment-X #RIGHT
  \tweak #'break-visibility #begin-of-line-invisible
  \mark \markup{D.S. al Coda}
  \break
  \mark \markup{CODA} c c c c
}

You don't say what version you're using, but in more recent versions
Tweak_engraver is already part of the Score context, so you could
remove that line.

Hope this helps,
David
