19,938 Pointsyou can copy and paste code within a code block, a code block is 3 backticks (`), you can usually find that key at the top left, above the tab and next to the number 1 of a qwerty keyboard.
following the first 3 backticks, you can say what colour syntax it should follow for example html, js, css, etc.
so a HTML code block will look like this
<!-- above this is ```html -->
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</body>
</html>
<!-- below this is ``` -->
