No like executing the code and giving the output.

I would say this is extremely unlikely, considering the number of different languages and runtimes.

It’s a standard Discourse onebox, so you go and create your code on replt.it and then paste your url in a line by itself in the post, like, if I paste

`https://repl.it/@xfalcox/TransparentSmallBrace`

it becomes

[https://repl.it/@xfalcox/TransparentSmallBrace](https://repl.it/@xfalcox/TransparentSmallBrace)
