How do I format code in my Stack Overflow posts?

To format code in your Stack Overflow posts, you can use backticks for inline code and triple backticks for code blocks.

Can you give me an example of how to use backticks?

Sure! For inline code, you would write yourCodeHere. For a code block, you would write:

function example() {
  console.log('Hello, world!');
}

What if I want to add syntax highlighting?

You can specify the language right after the triple backticks. For example:

```javascript
function example() {
  console.log('Hello, world!');
}

Is there a way to format lists or other elements in my post?

Yes! You can use asterisks or hyphens for bullet points and numbers for ordered lists. For example:

• Item 1
• Item 2

1. First item
2. Second item.
