5,452 Pointshow to post a snapshot of my code?
I've been having the occasional issue when writing "large" amounts of code while doing challenges, in that I dont know how I can take a nice screenshot of it to post to these forums for review. So far, every time i have an issue I have to copy and paste all of my code into the 'question' box and in the process all the formatting is lost.
Is there a better way?

Take a look at the Markdown Cheatsheet, which is linked to at the bottom of the question, answer, and comment boxes. It provides some basic formatting syntax to help you post your code.
Another option is to go through the Markdown Basics course.
For posting code, you copy and paste it directly from your text editor or from the challenge itself. Then surround it by 3 backticks (not apostrophes). You can also add the name of the language to get syntax highlighting.
Eg.
```python
print("Hello World")
```
Will show up as:
print("Hello World")
You can also click on the preview button (in the bottom right corner of the text box) to see what it will look like before submitting.
Hope this helps.
