How do I format code on Stack Overflow?

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

Can you show me an example of using backticks?

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

function example() {
    return true;
}

What if I want to add syntax highlighting?

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

function example() {
    return true;
}
``` will highlight the code as JavaScript.

Is there a way to preview my formatting before posting?

Yes! Stack Overflow provides a preview pane where you can see how your post will look before you submit it.
