### Fenced code blocks
|
|
|
|
You can create fenced code blocks by placing triple backticks <code>\`\`\`</code> before and after the code block. We recommend placing a blank line before and after code blocks to make the raw formatting easier to read.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
```
|
|
function test() {
|
|
console.log("notice the blank line before this function?");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% tip %}
|
|
|
|
**Tip:** To preserve your formatting within a list, make sure to indent non-fenced code blocks by eight spaces.
|
|
|
|
{% endtip %}
|
|
|
|
### Syntax highlighting
|
|
|
|
You can add an optional language identifier to enable syntax highlighting in your fenced code block.
|
|
|
|
For example, to syntax highlight Ruby code:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require 'redcarpet'
|
|
markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
|
|
puts markdown.to_html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use [Linguist](https://github.com/github/linguist) to perform language detection and to select [third-party grammars](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/vendor/README.md) for syntax highlighting. You can find out which keywords are valid in [the languages YAML file](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml).
