Working with Code in MDBlog
Working with Code in MDBlog
One of the great features of MDBlog is its excellent support for code examples and syntax highlighting.
Inline Code
You can include inline code using backticks. This is perfect for mentioning variables like username or functions like GetData().
Code Blocks
For larger code examples, use fenced code blocks with language specification:
Go Example
package main
import "fmt"
type BlogPost struct {
Title string
Content string
}
func (p *BlogPost) Render() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("<h1>%s</h1><p>%s</p>", p.Title, p.Content)
}
JavaScript Example
// Processing.js sketch example
function setup() {
size(400, 400);
background(220);
}
function draw() {
fill(255, 0, 0);
ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);
}
Python Example
def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 1:
return n
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
# Generate first 10 Fibonacci numbers
for i in range(10):
print(f"F({i}) = {fibonacci(i)}")
Best Practices
When including code in your posts:
- Always specify the language for proper syntax highlighting
- Keep examples concise and focused on the concept you're explaining
- Add comments to explain complex logic
- Test your code before publishing
