Until today, I never figured out what </> was supposed to mean or where it was supposed to be. I always used View > Source (in the browser) to (re) figure out what html tag to use (spanning a few years of forum use and a dozen-plus code posts).
Finally just found it, buried under (what to me looks like) the settings icon for the editor.
I have recently made this gif and added it to the relevant FAQ pages on the forum:

Feel free to use it in your own messages if you are helping someone format their code. You can add it by pasting this line in your message:

It is the preformatted text one at the top of the menu ![]()

Hello @sableraph and @ProcessingOrg,
There are currently two documents that have instructions on formatting code:
They are not the same and have different content; one has more detail than the other.
Please consider editing these (those) so they have the same content.
:)
I have edited GuidelinesāAsking Questions with a brief section on code formatting and a link to the FAQ to avoid having to maintain two redundant bits of documentation. Thanks for your feedback.
