How to use backticks to add code:

Surround code with a single set of backticks like this to add inline code:

This is some code.

⇒

This is some code.

Surround with sets of triple backticks like this to make code blocks:

if(true) { alert('hi') }

> 

# ⇒

if(true) { alert('hi') }

Note that the triple backticks need to be on their own line...

> Some other text ```
if(true) {
    alert('hi')
}
``` Some more text
> 

# ⇒

# No code block :(
