> This is a short post on how to use backticks (` and ```) to quote code, so it is easy to read. This post can be linked to new users who are confused by this feature. Why By quoting your code, you get a monospaced font (which preserves indentation) and syntax highlighting. This makes it easier to read your code and help you. Displayed code looks like this: function displayed\_code(x::Int, y::Int) if x \< y println("x is smaller") else println("or not") end end Inline…
