Formatting Code

You can use code blocks or inline code tags to better render code with Librarian. Syntax highlighting is supported via Prism.

Code Blocks

Code blocks start and finish with three backticks (```) and support multiple languages, for instance consider a block such as:

```php
<?php

class Test
{
  public $property = "value";
  
  function __construct($var)
  {
    $this->property = $var;
  }
}

```

Will render like this:

<?php

class Test
{
  public $property = "value";
  
  function __construct($var)
  {
    $this->property = $var;
  }
}

Inline Code

When you want to refer to a command or a small piece of code within a sentence, you can use inline code.

this is `inline code`

Result:

this is inline code

Librarian uses Prism for code highlighting.
