Including Inline Code No Longer Supported?

In the forums, I used to be able to include short code snippets in the middle of a sentence (I don't always want to open a code block on a new line...sometimes it's just messy and unnecessary). When I try to do this now, it doesn't seem to work. Has the system changed? Am I missing something?

Thanks!

you can include it inline by including 3 backticks before and after the code you want like this: this is an inline code block

actually looking at it now you only need one backtick before and after this is a code block using one backtick before and after

see below for what it needs to look like

inline code: `this is an inline code block`
this also works: ```this is an inline code block```

That's what I'd done in the past, but it hasn't been working for me the last few days. I'll try again and see if I can display a <p> tag in the middle of this sentence.

Nope. Just shows the backticks on my end. I wonder if it's a Safari problem?

Is this html <p> tag working? That's supposed to show a paragraph tag.

Glad I'm not crazy. That was allowed in the past, right?

Hi Guys,

This was bugging me too, don't know what changed but it works if you type html but if you include the < and > you get this <html>
