968 PointsCopying HTLM or CSS into this forum?
In a previous post I tried to copy some HTML and CSS and post it but when I hit the 'start discussion' button, it all came out as one big lump of wording so you could not really tell where the problem was. How do you copy HTML or CSS into this forum so it is readable?

If you're pasting html you can do the following:
``` html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
```
If you're pasting css you can do the following:
``` css
body {
background: blue;
color: white;
}
```

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

body {
background: blue;
color: white;

968 PointsHi Brandon, thanks ever so much for responding. At the risk of sounding a bit thick (still very much a newbie), where do I find those three dots (or back tics as you call them)? Cheers
