Hi there,
I would like to know if there is any plugins at Discourse which I can write a topic with codes like in the picture bellow??
With colors, idents and so on.

I may be missing something, but you can already use [code blocks](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code):
```js
console.log("hi");
```
It works the same as Discord which your screenshot was taken from.

sorry about my ignorance, but how can I use these code blocks writing a topic?
Exactly the ideia is to copy Discord in this way.

3 backticks + language name (optional):
```js
console.log("hi");
```

I think I got it, but for example in this code, how about the colors for some functions? It is displaying some colors but not as the picture is shown in discord.
The language is python.
```python
input long MagicN = 1234;
CTrade negocio;
CPositionInfo posicao;
bool InseriuParcial = false;
void OnTrade()
{
ExpiringOrdersPartial(_Symbol, MagicN);
}
void OnTick()
{
//....
bool pos = posicao.SelectByMagic(_Symbol, MagicN);
if (pos) && (!InseriuParcial)
{
string comment = "[part:" + IntegerToString(posicao.Ticket()) + "]";
if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) == POSITION_TYPE_SELL)
{
negocio.BuyLimit(1.0, simbolo.Last() -500, _Symbol, 0, 0, orderTypeTime, 0, comment + " Partial");
negocio.BuyLimit(1.0, simbolo.Last()-1000, _Symbol, 0, 0, orderTypeTime, 0, comment + " Partial");
}
else
{
//....
}
InseriuParcial = true;
}
//....
}
void ExpiringOrdersPartial(string symbol, long m_magic)
{
int total = OrdersTotal();
for(int i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
ulong order_ticket = OrderGetTicket(i);
if((OrderGetString(ORDER_SYMBOL) != symbol) || (OrderGetInteger(ORDER_MAGIC) != m_magic))
return;
string comment = OrderGetString(ORDER_COMMENT);
string tokenB = "[part:";
string tokenE = "]";
int posB = StringFind(comment,tokenB);
if (posB != -1)
{
int posE = StringFind(comment,tokenE, posB + StringLen(tokenB));
if (posE == -1)
return;
string position_ticketS = StringSubstr(comment, posB + StringLen(tokenB), posE - (posB + StringLen(tokenB)));
ulong position_ticket = (ulong)StringToInteger(position_ticketS);
if (!PositionSelectByTicket(position_ticket))
OrderDelete(order_ticket);
}
}
}
```

AFAIK Discord uses the same library for code as we do: [GitHub - highlightjs/highlight.js: JavaScript syntax highlighter with language auto-detection and zero dependencies. ยท GitHub](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js)
If you want your code to look the same as Discord in a Discourse post, install [Codeblock Theme Picker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/codeblock-theme-picker/146396) and change the theme to Solarized Dark.

At our site we have a page that demonstrates the different variations enabled.
