When asking about code questions.. how do you wrap your code or seperate it from word text for input?

Bit like how the response gives code in code tags.. how to provide the same input for code examples being mentioned?

Looking at how some models do it when writing their own code blocks, I use triple back-ticks (seems to be called the "Grave Accent" in Unicode) before the first line and after the last line; it's important to note those are not the same character as the apostrophe (that's also called single-quote) which is used to denote strings in languages like Python (can also be tripled for multi-line strings, and is interchangeable with regular double-quotes in python, as long as you make sure you use the same type for opening and closing the string; and on a further side-note, curly quotes (of both single and double varieties) usually aren't understood by most programing languages I think).

Kinda hard to show here because Github also interprets the symbol, couldn't figure out howto get the examples in-line above without messing up formatting; but it's like this:

```
block of code
with many lines
```

And for just mentioning commands and stuff inside phrases, you just use the back-ticks like quotes; like:

Your phrase `command stuff` rest of your phrase

With many, they also seem to often specify the language used in multi-line blocks by naming the language in lowercaps as a suffix to the starting triple back-ticks:

```python
print("""Hello
        World!""")
```

This seems to help to hint syntax highlighting systems to highlight the code correctly.

ps: Here in Github, to make it the backticks show I had to add 4 spaces at the beginning of the line, which is how code blocks are usually denoted in markdown formatting. Actually, looking at the Github docs to double-check things, seems I could've done it with 4 back-ticks above and bellow instead of starting each line with 4-spaces, and 3 back-ticks is how you write code-blocks on Github nowadays; not sure if 4-spaces is deprecated or documented elsewhere.

pps: Btw, be careful not confuse it with curly quotes (which sometimes are just font features but other times also actual separate characters, and many other international quote characters and similarly-shaped characters officially used for other purposes; I have no idea how many LLMs will react to those. Oh, and the apostrophe mentioned is the ASCII one, looks like there are some other apostrophes elsewhere on Unicode....
