So if you want to put some code from a coding language like Python or JAVA, you can do this:
For Python Code:
```python
print ("Hello World!")
NOT ANYMORE IT DOESN'T.
For Javascript code:
```javascript
alert("Hello World!");
Every single letter or character of code is in the same color. So I guess it doesn't work. Please vote if I should delete it or not.
For C# code:
```CSharp
string String = "Hello World!";
Console.WriteLine(String);
I don't know if this is supposed to happen, so I guess it's safe to say that it is sort of a success.
For JAVA code:
```JAVA
System.out.println("Hello World!");
Nothing happened. Should we vote to delete this?
For C++ (or C) code:
```C
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
The simple Hello World program but made tricky. Why did you have to do that, C developers...
Those are the only ones I know. Feel free to experiment tell me.
ALSO YOU NEED THE ``` PARTS AT THE END OF YOUR CODE!
I put all the code into preformatted text because the
```[CODING LANGUAGE NAME]
bits would disappear.
##See? Now the "Python" bit has disappeared.
print("I can still write code and the reply will automatically")
print("color it.")

Your examples don't clarify that you also need a line with (nothing but) ``` at the end.
I can't really add another ``` at the end, it won't show even with preformatted text on.

Fine, but anyone who reads your tutorial needs to know that they're needed!
```
this is my code
```
I was so confused for a long time, until I found out you stuck in an invisible character here
```
this is my code
```

You're looking at a new line character. They did it like this:
it's actually an invisible character, just look
This is not including the newline character. Here it is with the newline character
also,
as well as
```
Fun fact:
Just like with many programming languages,
Discourse uses \ for escaping characters.
```

There's also text for no formatting:
```text
nothing here is formatted:
//moew
no comment formatting #mnbvcxzaqsewdfrgthuyjiklop
```
Java is not an acronym, therefore it should not be capitalized.

bool coolPost = true;
void prettyNeat(int idSay)
{
dontYouAgree();
}
I meant that Java should not be written in all caps.
Python and
Javascript and
JAVA doesn't work...don't know why.
