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.
```
