thanks! The bug report is just an example of how wordy or exhaustive it can be. And I agree that there are a lot that has to be deleted. But my main point was to bring this to discussion.

If I understand correctly the current format is something like this

> please format code with \</\> button
> 
> - [homework policy](https://discourse.processing.org/faq/#homework)
> - [asking questions](https://discourse.processing.org/t/2147)

My suggestion would be something like (ahh trying to format markdown within markdown this drives me crazy 🤯 )

````java
<!--

// paste your code here
void setup() {
}
