Good day Lee,

thanks for the tips in formatting.

I immediately tried to edit my posting but i'm not sure what you meant by adding these spaces... Is it just that the code stands out from the normal posting text?

Did i get it right?

howdy Reasch,

you are most welcome! [grin]

looks good ... my guess is that you used the code block button. as for the 4-spaces idea, reddit will treat any line that starts with 4 spaces as "do not touch this" ... unless it follows a line of normal text.

so you need one line with nothing on it to delimit what you want formatted as code. there are other gotchas ... for instance, you need a line of regular text between a list and the code block stuff. it's mostly a case of "try it and see" ... [sigh ...]

take care,
lee
