Markdown to Show Code Snippets

Inline Code

Inline code starts and ends with a backtick ` character - like `code` - it will then look like code

Multi-Line Code Blocks

Multi-line code blocks start with three of these, like

```
var x = 17; // a comment
```

resulting in

var x = 17; // a comment

Syntax Highlighting

Multi-line code with syntax highlighting needs you to specify the language c#:

```c#
var x = 17; // a comment
```

resulting in

var x = 17; // a comment
