</div>

when I’m trying to post code like

 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/b/4b699a1f154b4ab411ef15e07917067da1969342.png)

and put above code inside _```_ , it is shown as:

```plaintext
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AAA]
"DDD"="D:\\folder1\\10\\bin\\myprog.exe"

```

i.e. `\1` is replaced with ```

the same with `<pre>` tag:

```
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AAA]
"DDD"="D:\\folder1\\10\\bin\\myprog.exe"
```

blockquote also works incorrectly:

> REGEDIT4

> [HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\AAA]  
> “DDD”=“D:\folder1\10\bin\myprog.exe”

it this case, it replaces **\\1** with **```**

Q: how I can post above code as codefragment correctly?

Definitely an oddity, @sam is working on upgrading us to CommonMark now and this can be tested at that time.

This seems to be working right now:

```plaintext
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AAA]
"DDD"="D:\\folder1\\10\\bin\\myprog.exe"

```

I junked all our old custom code hoisting so these kind of issues are handled correctly by the engine.
