caption: Code Blocks created: 20131205160047557 modified: 20160606140326254 tags: WikiText title: Code Blocks in WikiText type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki You can use triple backticks ``` to mark code blocks (<<.icon $:/core/images/mono-block>>):
```
This will be monospaced
```
Renders as: ``` This will be monospaced ``` To be interpreted correctly, the three backticks need to be at the start of the line and immediately followed by a line-break. Be aware that any preceding paragraph content should be properly terminated with a double line break, too. So, this example is wrong:
This is an ordinary paragraph
```
This will be monospaced
```
The correct version is:
This is an ordinary paragraph

```
This will be monospaced
```
Note that some keyboard layouts treat the backtick as a [[dead key|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key]], making it hard to type. The trick is to type three backticks followed by a space. Alternatively, type all six backticks in one go, then a space, and then move the cursor back three characters to type or paste the content.
