Tip: fix the formatting of your JD text blocks on the forum

Quick tip for those of you that use Markdown code blocks to format your JD numbers. And for those of you that don’t! Now you can. This is how easy it is.

If you type two rows of three backticks, everything between them will turn in to monospaced text.

```
Like this.
```

This is a ‘code block’ in Markdown, so the forum software tries to figure out which language you’re using and formats it for you. Which is cool if you’re typing JavaScript…

let hello = "world";

…but not so much when it doesn’t understand your JD and formats it all weird.

10-19 Area
	11 Category
		11.01 ID1
		11.02 ID2

The fix

The fix is to explicitly specify that this is just text. You do this by typing txt immediately after the first 3 backticks:

```txt
10-19 Area
	11 Category
		11.01 ID1
		11.02 ID2
```

That’s it!

And I would recommend Tree (nathanfriend.io) everyday for this. Makes it look nice and clean :wink:
