Hello,
Ensuring the display of your code correctly on the site is crucial for others to understand and provide help accurately. It tends to be a known issue that regular text entry can mess up the formatting of the code. Fortunately, this forum provides a means to preserve that essential formatting.
Typically, there are two ways you can share formatted code:
1. **Inline code**: If you want to include a piece of code in the same line as some text, you can wrap it in backticks (`). This is helpful when referring to a single function or variable.
2. **Code blocks**: For larger code snippets or whole programs, you want to use a code block. On this forum, you should be able to use three backticks (```) at the start and the end of your code segment. Another way is wrapping your code into a blockquote by using the `>` sign.
e.g.
\```
your code here
\```
or
\> your code here
For LeftSquareBracket i RightSquareBracket, I assume you are referring to some pseudo-code for ``. If these constructs also become trouble, you can wrap them into backticks, like `LeftSquareBracket i RightSquareBracket` or `` if that's what you meant. This can prevent them from being misinterpreted.
Mind you, in writing backticks, make sure you use the 'grave accent' key without shift, usually located at the top-left of the keyboard, beneath the Esc key.
If the keyboard shortcuts somehow don't work, look for a button called "Preformatted" or "Code" (Sometimes represented as `<>`) while posting your message. Clicking that should wrap your selected text in a way that preserves formatting.
Hope this helps! If you have any other issues or queries, feel free to post here.
