Syntax highlighting in markdown

Last updated by Dan Quinney on August 08, 2016 16:33

Codebase allows you to use markdown in various places such as ticket updates and notebook pages. Markdown is great because of its support of code blocks. We've tied this in with Codebase's powerful syntax highlighting to provide language specific code blocks

To use the syntax highlighting, you'll need to specify the language that you're using. For example:

```ruby
def index
  puts "hello world"
end
``` 

or:

```csharp
private void index(){
  MessageBox.Show("hello world");
}
```
