Hi Simon, in the guide there is a GIF image which shows how to do it. No capital letters needed. Below is the example.

You've essentially got it down.

For example, this:

Outputs:

function sumDigits(num) {
    var i, sum = 0; // can declare two variables at once

    for (i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
        sum += i; // add each number to sum (ie, 1 + 2 + ...+ num)
    }

    // Display result
    alert("The sum of the digits from 1 to " + num + " is:\n\n\t " + sum);
}

Also, make sure there is an empty line between any text and the start of the code block you want to create. If you don't put the empty line between text and code block, the block of code isn't formatted correctly.

Here is an example. The code block starts directly under this line (no blank line between this one and the start of the code block)

var a = 1;

Notice that the code isn't set off in a block, and "javascript" appears when it shouldn't

Now, here's a line, followed by an EMPTY line followed by a code block:

var a = 1;

You don't have to insert an empty line AFTER the code block.

Hi Tendai, I'm thinking you can probably find the answer in this thread.

Hey Brian, the forum uses markdown code instead of HTML. Also, you'll want to use absolute links instead of relative.

Markdown Cheatsheet

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>
   ```

Italic

   Here’s a word that is *emphasized*

Bold

   Here’s a word that is **bold**

Images

   ![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")

Unordered List

   + Candy
   + Gum
   + Peanuts

Ordered List

   1. Red
   2. Green
   3. Blue

Also, you'll want to use absolute links instead of relative.

Make sure your absolute link points to a web server on the Internet and not an absolute link on your own system.

Right Thanks, James.

yes, but maybe a little more ordinated to find things quicker like u do comment html and css as Nick show us ,

Hi Gina, bold text, emphasis (italic) should be closed. For instance, **bold text**, etc. With headings (H1, H2, etc.), you only need to start a new line. A level one heading would look this #Level One Heading

You can tag people by typing the @ symbol and a list of people should populate when you start to type the name of the person. Hope this helps.

Hi Jovanny Elias ,

What i do to show others how to post their code is to write edit and look what i did .

e.g
User code

some code code code code code
code code code code code code
code code code code code code

EDIT: Hi, press EDIT on your post and see what i did to achieve this effect .

This may help user to see what i did to achieve these effect. I do the same, intact i learned like that. When I'm curious how to put like a link on a word , i pressed edit on somebody that allowed me to see how he did that , i find it much easier than to read this : p its less complicated : p

On mac , how to post code , the ` is down , not up , so they forgotten to do that. They made it only on windows to show people. At first i didn't know where is that symbol on iMac because its on different place than on windows .

Jovanny Elias, of course that's what it's for.

I've also been linking this video to show how to post code and ask questions.

I gonna try it too :) but , iMac users have the symbol on the bottom ^^

Of course it works here... : | What the heck?!

Looks like a rendering issue within the forum. I'm sure they're aware; I see a couple older posts on this thread that seem to have the issue.

Seems to be an intermittent issue?

Happens more often in OPs and Comments than in Answers; dunno if that's related...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, Dustin Matlock.

Our CSS actually creates the break in answers, but the bottom margins are set to zero for comments, and set to 2px for posts. That may not be intended. Thoughts, Ryan Wilke?

Thanks, Sean Gaffney.

You know better than I if the bottom margin is the issue, but - just to be clear - the problem is spacing between paragraphs within individual answers, comments, OPs...

Thanks, Graham
