How to post code on Treehouse forum

Hi everyone!

Heres how you post code to treehouse and more :)

Markdown Cheatsheet
Markdown is a short-hand syntax for easily converting text to HTML. Below are some popular examples of Markdown formatting. For more examples reference Markdown Basics for a more detailed overview.

Links
This is an [example link](http://example.com/)

Code
Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

            ```html
            <p>This is code!</p>
            ```

Here’s a word that is *emphasized*

Also, the brackets are wrong. They need to be back-ticks, not front-ticks. ``` this

So i assume this is ios.

You would need

``` objectice-c (i think)

code

```
