How do some people have code in a box? I feel like I knew and used this at one time, but I now forget. The box is shaded dark gray and text appears normal. Thanks in advance!

`i think you mean these boxes? :P`
You can create them by writing your code or text bewteen 2x `
It's the same key on your keyboard as the ~ above the tab and below the Esc button.

`public static void main(String args[])`

Is there any feature that colors code for specific languages? I think $\LaTeX$ can do it. I'll research. Thanks!

thomaster · Answer

$\Large\LaTeX$ can probably do that but not here :P 
This site uses mathjax, and there are only limited functions available.

thomaster · Answer

But you can color your code manually

theeric · Answer

Okay, thanks!

thomaster · Answer

`$\color{>color<}{text}$`

theeric · Answer

Gotcha! And I can't use mathjax in the `s, right?
``
So I do it normally and in \] or \) and color it.

Thank you!

thomaster · Answer

You can also use ``` Some code will be colored, like this: ```

hello

``` ``` public class Hello { public static void main(String [] args) { System.out.println("Hello"); //comment } } ```
