Three backticks then a space. Then paste the code. then hit enter 4-5 times until it sends it.
I don't know where I learned this eldritch incantation--it certainly wasn't in the documentation--but it works.
- pxc 4y ago> this eldritch incantation It's the spawn of an unholy union between Markdown and WYSIWYG. Triple backticks is the opening (and closing) sequence of characters used to denote multiline snippets of 'preformatted text' or code in Markdown. Pressing enter 5 times is what happens because Microsoft insists on preventing you from writing actual Markdown, even as an option. Single backticks works (and you can use a second backtick to close 'exit' that formatting mode), but delightfully, it only works if you're typing, and not if you copy and paste.
- tom9729 4y agoThe space wasn't necessary previously, and pasting code DID work, and then an update silently broke it and it's been like that ever since. Now you're supposed to use the formatting toolbar to insert a snippet. What a joke!
- pxc 4y agoSo you used to be able to compose long messages in a decent editor and paste them in, and now you can't. Ugh.
