To format code in this forum you need to surround the code with three backticks (```). For example, typing this...
```
fn main() {
println!()
}
```
...will be rendered as highlighted Rust code, like so:
fn main() {
println!()
}
You can also tell the forum software which language you're using by adding the language after the opening backticks.
```cpp
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!";
}
```
Will appear with highlighting as:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!";
}
The currently supported languages include: apache, bash, cs, cpp, css, coffeescript, diff, xml, http, ini, json, java, javascript, makefile, markdown, nginx, objectivec, ruby, perl, php, python, sql, handlebars, rust and dust. Others may be added in the future.
It's also possible to add plain text by using text as the language:
```text
Error 365: Invalid command.
See help for a list of valid commands.
```
This will be rendered without any highlighting:
Error 365: Invalid command.
See help for a list of valid commands.
If your keyboard layout does not have the ` key, you can also use a ~.
