4,557 PointsHow to type code in the forum
Hi guys,
I think I've asked this about three times or so already, and I keep forgetting: how do I add code to the forum and place it in a box? I've seen that it's maybe < code> </ code> or putting " ``` " before the text, but those don't work for me.
Is there a way to have a feature where you can highlight the code in the textbox and hit a "Code Tag" button? I'm perfectly fine with writing the code myself, but I just keep forgetting the actual command to do so.
Thanks.

39,199 PointsPaul Dietrich - There are 3.5 different ways to format code on the forum, here's a primer for you.
Option 1) Inline code like this code use the ` key to enclose your string of code
Option 2) Indent each line of code by one tab or 4 spaces
<Body>
<p>hello world</p>
</body>
Option 3) Code fences, you need a blank line before your code fence
Enter this:
```
<body>
<p>hello world</p>
</body>
```
It will give you this:
<body>
<p>hello world</p>
</body>
Option 3b) Syntax highlighting, use the code fences and specify a language:
Enter this:
```ruby
def my_method(syntax)
syntax.is_highlighted?
end
```
It will give you this:
def my_method(syntax)
syntax.is_highlighted?
end

39,199 PointsPaul Dietrich - Your issue with '```' is probably you aren't putting the necessary, 1 line of white space between your text and the start of your code block.

You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions

The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day... I got in.

James Gill
Courses Plus Student 34,936 PointsDoesn't the simple Markdown code block notation of a tab (or 4 spaces) work?
James Barnett
39,199 PointsJames Gill - As I noted in option 2, yes it does a tab or 4 spaces works the same way as using a single backtick. If you want to do multiple lines you need a code fence or a set of 3 backticks as I noted in option 3.
Any questions?
