How to Write Articles With Code Blocks

Why should I use code blocks
Use code blocks to highlight the codes across the entire article.
How to use the code blocks
To Insert code block on Markdown or WYSIWYG,
- Choose the Insert Code from the Markdown Editor toolbar.
- By adding triple backticks “`” before and after the code block, you can create fenced code blocks.
- To make the raw formatting simpler to read, you can put a blank line before and after code sections.
How to change the highlighted language
You can add an optional language identifier to your code block to enable syntax highlighting in a different language.
Markdown
WYSIWYG
Note: If you does not specify a language identifier, the auto highlight will be applied. Highlight styles will be applied based on the specified identifier.
