Forum formatting codes?

[Xykon]

Hello,

Where can I find a list of formatting codes for this forum other than blod/italic etc. at the top of the compose box? For example how do I post python sources and have them show in a nice box with black background?

I believe you are running nodebb? I've done some google searching but the documentation I found doesn't seem to cover this.

Maybe there is a help button somewhere I haven't spotted yet?

Thanks a lot.

I didn't find it either.

Thanks a lot @livius for pointing this out.

The "button" exists
If you try to write post, on the right side you have "COMPOSITE"
click on "?" and you will see popup with link to formatting guide
formating guide

and to edit your post click on the "gear" button on the bottom left of your post
and then popup menu appear with edit command

@michal You should be able to edit your posts everywhere but in Announcements. However until you have a reputation of 3 (I gave you an upvote... you need two more) there are time limits for posting & editing.

I add my vote for a help button with formatting syntax description. I would also appreciate a possibility to edit a post, that was already submitted (now I am not able to correct typos or improve formatting).

Hi Xykon,

Indeed we are using nodebb. It supports common markdown syntax so the easiest way is to use three back ticks (```) at the beginning and three at the end of the code block: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/9645/no-code-button/4

For example:

import os

print("hello there")
