Code Blocks

Markdown Renderer for Confluence supports syntax-highlighted code blocks for multiple programming languages, making your technical documentation more readable and professional.

Basic Code Blocks

Create a code block using triple backticks:

```python
def hello_world():
    print("Hello, World!")
```

Syntax Highlighting

Specify the language after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting:

```javascript
function calculateSum(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}
```

Supported Languages

Python
JavaScript
Java
C/C++
Ruby
PHP
SQL

Shell scripts
And many more

Inline Code

Use the `print()` function to output text

Best Practices

Include comments to explain complex code
Format code properly for better readability
