Hello,

I normally compose my posts on Notepad. My formatting is lost when I post. I noticed the # (insert formatted code) symbol on the above toolbar. Do I wrap my code in # symbols before or after I post?

Regards,

Mark

Click on # at the start of your code block, enter your code, then click on # again to close your code block. Alternatively, you can enter your code block, then select all the text in it, then click on # just once.

No. Use a code-tag instead:

\([\)code\(]\)def gcd(a, b):
    return a if b == 0 else gcd(b, a % b)
[/code]

This results in:

The # button is just inserts the code-tags, you can watch as it does this.
