Inline code

Code can be rendered inline by wrapping it in single back ticks.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <inline code snippet> adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, `<inline code snippet>` adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Syntax highlighted code blocks

Use Jekyll’s built-in syntax highlighting with Rouge for code blocks by using three backticks, followed by the language name:

// Javascript code with syntax highlighting.
var fun = function lang(l) {
  dateformat.i18n = require('./lang/' + l)
  return true;
}
```js
// Javascript code with syntax highlighting.
var fun = function lang(l) {
  dateformat.i18n = require('./lang/' + l)
  return true;
}
```

Code blocks with rendered examples

To demonstrate front end code, sometimes it’s useful to show a rendered example of that code. After including the styles from your project that you’ll need to show the rendering, you can use a <div> with the code-example class, followed by the code block syntax. If you want to render your output with Markdown instead of HTML, use the markdown="1" attribute to tell Jekyll that the code you are rendering will be in Markdown format… This is about to get meta…

[Link button](http://example.com/){: .btn }
<div class="code-example" markdown="1">

[Link button](http://example.com/){: .btn }

</div>
```markdown
[Link button](http://example.com/){: .btn }
```
