Background

Unfortunately, some of the code shared online is not always well formated.

 

Markdown

Thankfully markdown offers a way to add code to blog posts and comments.

 

Convention

To add markdown, please prefix with three backticks ( “`) followed by the language.

Embed code.

And, closeout by adding the same three backticks ( “`).

SQL – Transact SQL

Code

````sql
create table [dbo].[member]
(
       [id] bigint not null
            identity(1,1)

     , [name] nvarchar(120)

     , [tsCreated] datetime not null
            default getdate()

     , [tsUpdated] datetime

)

````

Output

create table [dbo].[member]
(
         [id] bigint not null
             identity(1,1)

       , [name] nvarchar(120)

       , [tsCreated] datetime not null
                     default getdate()

       , [tsUpdated] datetime

)

Summary

Rather, unfortunately, WordPress often jumbles up markdowns while editing posts.
