If you look at the markdown cheatsheet link below a reply box, it'll explain how to use code, basically you use the backtick button, which is top left of your keyboard.

i don't understand ... i have code about 30 lines in javascript when i copy it fron my notepad and past it in the post .... all the lines are combined

Go ahead and post it here and we'll see if we can't untangle it.

See how I formatted that, you can hit edit on your post to see.

At the bottom of each reply box there is this: Reference this Markdown Cheatsheet for syntax examples for formatting your post.

When you click the bold markdown cheatsheet, a modal pops up that explains how to format things in the forum.
