Pasting code snippets in Discord

If you want to paste a code snippet in Discord, or in any other application that supports markdown, use code snippets.

Say you want to paste some lines of JS code.

Pasting directly will look like this:

You can wrap the code in triple backticks, start and end ```

and it will look better:

even better is use triple backticks followed by language tag, like ```js because now code will be color highlighted, and it will look much better and it’s easier to “visually parse”
