How to Put Scripts/Code (or Text) in a Forum Code Block

Just insert your text between the lines with the triple backquotes:
(backquote ` is the key just below ESC key.)

```language
   Your script or text here
   Use "text" as the language for text data
   Use "html" or "xml" for web pages or plist strings
```

See Markdown for Code Blocks

To get syntax highlighting, then use the keyword in lower case for that language, like:
applescript
javascript
html
xml
text

These are just some of the more common examples. See the complete list of languages below.

Here is a macro that will paste the script on the clipboard into the forum in the proper format:
