Recommended to disable if users frequently need to render custom HTML in their posts. | | Translation | Default | | --- | --- | | warning\_modal.title | Are you posting code? | | warning\_modal.content | It looks like your post may contain code or logs. To keep your post readable, please remember to **format your code** using the _Preformatted text_ toolbar button \, or the backtick ` key on your keyboard, like so: [examples] | | warning\_modal.do\_not\_show\_again | do not show this message again | | warning\_modal.fix\_post | Edit Post | | warning\_modal.ignore\_and\_post\_anyway | Post Anyway | ### Debugging If you receive a warning for a post which doesn’t include any text, you can print debug information by opening the browser JS console, and typing `debugUnformattedCodeDetector()` Enter. This will print some information about which lines were considered ‘code’, and what the sensitivity settings are. > :information_source: “Do not show this message again” only works per device, not per user. This is a known issue and will be fixed once Discourse gains the functionality to attach user info from themes. > :discourse2: **Hosted by us?** Theme components are available to use on our Standard, Business, and Enterprise plans. > Last edited by @JammyDodger 2024-06-16T11:48:08Z > > > **Check document** > > > > Perform check on document: --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unformatted-code-detector/112773)._
