Code Blocks and Syntax Highlighting

Jon · 2016-05-29T02:57:07.033Z

I was adding a post with small blocks of code and some of the code was colored in an odd way. I dug through the discourse website and found a reference to Syntax Highlights. Bingo!

A block of code with Syntax Highlights may look like this:

cd /home/pi/.node-red
npm list -g | grep emoncms
npm list | grep emoncms

The same block of code with Syntax Highlights turned off looks like this:

cd /home/pi/.node-red
npm list -g | grep emoncms
npm list | grep emoncms

To turn off Syntax Highlights add the word “text” after the three backticks:

```text
cd /home/pi/.node-red
npm list -g | grep emoncms
npm list | grep emoncms
```

A cheatsheat would be handy…

Yes it would! The original title of this post was:
“A cheatsheet to help with creating cheatsheets”

Just the defaults I think. Let me know if you can think of anymore.
