What?

No, you use \<pre\> tags.

How to use Code Blocks (code with backticks are in pre tags)

```
```
function some(JavaScript, "code"){}
```
```

Which will produce

```plaintext
function some(JavaScript, "code"){}

```

Or you can use 4 spaces (code with spaces are in pre tags)

```
function some(JavaScript, "code"){}
```

which will produce

```
function some(JavaScript, "code"){}

```

You can also put them inline using a _single_ back-tick

Example: (paragraph below with backticks are in pre tags)

```
This is an example of it being inline `function some(JavaScript, "code"){}` and more text can be added after too
```

Which produces:  
This is an example of it being inline `function some(JavaScript, "code"){}` and more text can be added after too

And how to insert your pre tag

```plaintext
<pre>
    function some(JavaScript, "code"){}
</pre>

```
