Formatting Content for Community Posts

When posting certain content to the community, you'll want to make sure it's formatted properly. For example, when posting the content of an expression, a response from an HTTP Action, or other similar code-like content, you'll want to make sure you format the content as code.

To format your content as code, you can either tap the </> icon in the toolbar or wrap your content in backticks.

Examples

Triple Backticks

If you surround your code in triple backticks like the following:

```
"My Code"
```

The rendered post will become a code block:

"My Code"

Single Backticks

If you surround inline text in a single backtick like the following:

This is `code` inline!

The rendered post includes just the inline content formatted as code:

This is code inline!

Custom Block Format / Language

When using the triple backticks format, the community software will automatically try to infer the type of code / language and apply the appropriate formatting. You can also explicitly type the name of a language supported by highlight.js on the first line of triple back ticks:

JSON

```json
{ "foo": "bar" }
```

{ "foo": "bar" }

JavaScript (expressions)

```javascript
myVar = $content.event.value 
myVar / 20 
```

myVar = $content.event.value
myVar / 20
