Code Formatting

To add formatting to code, we have a little Template:Code code template that can be used like this:

::{{Code|bash$ this is a bash command
-bash: this: command not found
bash$ 
}}

Which should look like this:

bash code
`bash$ ls -l total 696 ... bash$`

If you like syntax highlighting, we have the syntax highlight extension and you can do this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
<?php $v = "string";    // sample initialization ?>
This is some html text
</syntaxhighlight>

To look like:

<?php $v = "string";    // sample initialization ?>
This is some html text

or

<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby">
> ["Amahi", "Linux"].map{|i| "#{i} is cool!"}
=> ["Amahi is cool!", "Linux is cool!"]
</syntaxhighlight>

To look like:

       > ["Amahi", "Linux"].map{|i| "#{i} is cool!"}
       => ["Amahi is cool!", "Linux is cool!"]
