This article will give Markdown code examples for common ways you might want to format your text on CodeHS.

Code and Syntax Highlighting

Inline code: wrap text in back ticks `

example: `takeBall()`

Blocks of code: use three back ticks and indicate the language for syntax highlighting

```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s); 
```

```python 
s = "Python syntax highlighting" 
print s 
```

``` 
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting. 
```
