Is there a way to have a code block (ie tree backticks) without syntax highlighting? Like a “none” language? Eg for pseudocode or the like without defined syntax. for each file in folder do stuff

You can delete all the entries in the setting highlighted languages Also using the 4 spaces to indent avoids highlighting. for each file in folder do stuff

Umm, no, that’s not what I had in mind - I like the highlighting in general, I just want a way to disable it in a particular case. It seems like specifying no language, or any language, or an invalid language all get some for of syntax highlighting. Maybe there is some other setting I have misconf…

[이미지] peternlewis: It seems like specifying no language, or any language, or an invalid language all get some for of syntax highlighting. Yes, it tries to auto-detect a language. You will want to use the 4 spaces to indent if you don’t want highlighting. (see my edited post above)

You simply hint the block with text

So as in three back ticks and the “text”? I see that works here, but not on my forum, is that something recent? Or do I need to add it as a language?

Yes, “text” was what I needed to know. And it didn’t work on my site for the same reason I failed at code blocks last time - four back ticks. Sigh. Thanks.

```text
