There are many different ways to style code with GitHub’s markdown. If you have inline code blocks, wrap them in backticks: var example = true. If you’ve got a longer block of code, you can indent with four spaces:
if (isAwesome){
return true
}
GitHub also supports something called code fencing, which allows for multiple lines without indentation:
if (isAwesome){
return true
}
And if you’d like to use syntax highlighting, include the language:
if (isAwesome){
return true
}
