Rules

  • Anything after the opening ``` (in Markdown, often a language name) is ignored.
  • Preformatted lines aren’t wrapped, and contain no markup and no escapes: *, <yellow> and &lt; are shown as they are.
  • Lines wider than the screen are cut, or scrolled sideways, as the client chooses. Keep them as narrow as the smallest screen you write for.
  • The page’s case setting applies here too.
  • Preformatted text is styled by the stylesheet key pre.
