ESRI community forums input formatting has an "Insert/Edit code sample" option. However this method is pretty awkward and does not work the same way as any standard code formatting.

When you use it, it takes up an entire line and doesn't work well for in-line code samples.

 

Users should be able to use standard formatting like:
`single carat for inline text`

or

```

multiple carats

for multiple

lines

```

 

This would make adding code samples much easier and cleaner. This is a standard feature in any forum where code is read/written.

Support inline code snippets in ArcGIS Community p... - Esri Community

Thank you, our vendor is planning to deploy a newer version of the text editor later this year, and hopefully that will resolve it, but we will add it to our development backlog as well.

Thank you @Anonymous User @JohannesLindner for this idea. We are limited to the functionality of the text editor our vendor is using. They plan to upgrade this editor (TinyMCE) next year, which might offer additional options, but for now this is not something we can change. Thanks Simi.
