Code Blocks

Inline code:

Use `len()` to get length.

Use <code>len()</code> to get length.

Code blocks (fenced):

```python
def hello():
    print("hi")
```

<pre><code class="language-python">def hello():
    print(&quot;hi&quot;)
</code></pre>

Indented code blocks (4-space indent):

    def hello():
        print("hi")

Same <pre><code> output.

Inside code blocks:

• All markdown markers are LITERAL (not parsed)
• HTML special chars are escaped (< → <, & → &, " → ")

Fenced is preferred — clearer, supports language tags for syntax highlighting (highlight.js, Prism, Shiki).

Tilde-fenced is also valid: ~~~python ... ~~~ — useful when content has triple-backticks.
