Hi, I’m willing to create a Python programming community with Discourse.

I have three main questions:

- How much am I able to customize the platform if I use your hosting?
- Is there a way that the \</\> code tag support syntax highlighting directly?
- Is there a way to support the “tab” key inside the editing box?

Another important doubt I have is: can we use plugins or your app on self-hosted Discourse?

Run on over to [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) and paste some code between some back ticks like

  Code here

It’ll attempt to guess the language but you can override and set a default.

Using plugins other than those described on their pricing page requires enterprise hosting,which is more expensive.

If you self host you can install whatever plugins you want.
