Source code formatting in the old editor

• To highlight a source code snippet, such as a function name, in the text, wrap it in back quotes (`).

• To format multiple source code lines, paste three back quotes (```) in the row preceding the code block and the row following the code block.

Example:

•    Function `exit()`
  
  Result

  Function exit()

•        Start of a code snippet
         ```
         <?
         phpinfo();
         $s = "Hello, World!\n";
         print $s;
         ```
         End of the code snippet
  
  
  Result

  Start of the code snippet

  <?
  phpinfo();
  $s = "Hello, World!\n";
  print $s;
  

  End of the code snippet
