Mike Robbins continues a series on Markdown:
Technical writers often need to embed code in their articles, whether snippets, configurations, commands, or examples. When presented clearly, code in your articles reinforces understanding and helps readers follow along more easily. When presented poorly, it creates confusion and frustration. This article demonstrates how to use inline code and code blocks effectively in Markdown, ensuring your code is readable, maintainable, and helpful to your audience.
This is, fortunately, a bit of Markdown that is very consistent across platforms.
