Hello and welcome @Rory_D 🙂

The backticks are for preformatted text, so will display whatever is inside them with no extra formatting.

You can create a codeblock version that spans multiple lines using triple backticks instead:

```plaintext
Create a paperback book cover in a 1970s Japanese style. 

It should be sci-fi and slightly otherworldly.

```

Though you may be looking for a blockquote style instead?

> Create a paperback book cover in a 1970s Japanese style. It should be sci-fi and slightly otherworldly.

You can achieve that by highlighting the portion of text you want and using the quotemark button in your composer formatting bar, or by manually adding a `>` to the start of each new line you want to include in the quote block:
