How do I enter indented code in a Codecademy's "Ask a question" box?
I’ve tried the little squiggly marks { }
but that didn’t work.
Can someone please explain:
- How I enter code into the “Ask a question” box
- How I enter code into the “Comment” box?
Thank you.

In the comments you can only put plain text, no formatting. But in the questions and answers it’s easy: before typing code, click the {}
button above the editor window:
It’ll insert “backticks” (typing `this`
produces this
). If your code snippet spans across several lines (when you pasted it in from some exercise), select all lines of code, then click the {}
button. That will insert four spaces at the beginning of each line.
Typing
⎵⎵⎵⎵print "hello"
(where ⎵ represents a whitespace) will produce:
print "hello"
You have to put a blank line before and after the indented lines.

Alex J: Thanks. No doubt you’re constantly improving Codecademy, but why don’t you include something like “About Codecademy” or a FAQ – both are pretty standard at websites – to enable people like me to find and learn the basics of how the website works. At this point it seems I am either forced to ask questions about each specific technical use issue or sift through endless comments, many of which are irrelevant. Or am I missing something? Also, why is the Comment box so tiny and why am I not allowed a preview?
agreed!
Yes. +1000 to this suggestion
FAQ pages exist: http://help.codecademy.com/customer/portal/articles/1421289 Moreover, formatting instructions are directly below the editing window when you submit a forum question: http://is.gd/D6Kd8F The trouble is that people who read all that are a very tiny minority.
