Code blocks work much like block quotes, only they begin and end with ``` instead of <<<, and they display their contents in a fixed-width font, respecting line breaks. If you install the official Highlight plugin, you can also specify a language for syntax highlighting after the opening backticks.
Let's say hello to the world in Python, without syntax highlighting:
```
print("Hello world!")
```
Let's add syntax highlighting by specifying a language (Highlight plugin must be installed):
```python
print("Hello world!")
```
How about in JavaScript?
```javascript
console.log("Hello world!")
