Hello!

If you'd like, you can add syntax highlighting (colors that make code easier to read) to your code block like the following example.

console.log('Hello world!');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This should make it a bit easier to understand your code. 😎

In order to use this in your code blocks, you must designate the coding language you are using directly after the first three back-ticks. So in the example above, you'd write three back-ticks js (no space between the two), put the code beneath (e.g. console.log('Hello world!');), then three back-ticks beneath that to close the code.

Here's an image that shows how it's written!

thanks so much, was actually looking on how to highlight the code snippets.
