How do I share my workspace code to get help?

I wanna ask where I went wrong on this pretty long bit of code written in workspaces making up the shopping_list_3.py file. Is there a way for me to attach the work to a question so people can actually see the code to help me out and see the error codes popping up? If so that would be great to know.

    index += 1

print("-"+10)

show_help()

while True: new_item = input("> ")

if new_item.upper() == 'DONE' or new_item.upper() == 'quit':
    break

    show_help()
    continue
