Code blocks

If you are a developer you may be interested in code blocks. To create a code block, start your text/code with four backticks ( ` ` ` ` ). To return to normal text, close the code block with another four.

It’s also possible to display code inline, by marking the start and end of the snippet with a single backtick.

This is a line of normal text.

this will be a code block

Then some more more normal text.

More code in this block,

and a line of code indented by two spaces

To create a horizontal line, use at least three - - -, _ _ _ or * * * on a separate line. Any number above three will do the same thing and spaces between the characters do not matter.

A line of text above the horizontal rule.

The start of the next section of text.

Place either asterisks or underscores either side of a word or words to make them italic, bold or bold italic.

<em>Italics</em>: *word* or _word_

<strong>Bold</strong>: **word** or __word__

<strong><em>Bold italics</em></strong>: ***word*** or ___word___

You must of course match the number of asterisks/underscores either side of words for the formatting to work. Typing “I want to display this as a **bold* word” won’t display the word in bold.
