Please see my reply to your question here: https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12982&p=70809#p70807

As you can see the standard format ignored the CR-LF's after the lines.

[jimmo]

I don't understand... this is what GitHub thinks you posted:

[jimmo]

e.g. this works:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

[mmliam]

Maybe there's some problem with the browser; I'm using FireFox.

Testing

works
in
firefox?

[jimmo]

Maybe could you post a screenshot of what the editor looks like just before you click "reply"? What happens if you use the preview tab? Does it look correct there?

Possibly some browser extension you have installed?

Now responding in with Chrome.
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
Strange, I get the same thing in Chrome; Line's 1,2 & 3 appear on the same line.
Do you see my lines 1, 2, & 3 on the same line?
BTW: I created Lines 1,2,&3 in Notepad, so I know there were CRLF after each line.

Can you post a screenshot of what the editor looks like just before you click "reply" ?

Here's the screenshot of my last post.

[xytsrm]

All I see in the menu for code addition is <>, cursor over says "Add code". I don't see any mult-line option.

[jimmo]

You need to select the thing you want to highlight first.

When you have no selection, it assumes you want an inline snippet. So it's giving you the start and end backtick for the snippet (and it puts your cursor inside it). Hence why there are two backticks.

[mmliam]

I simply selected the lines from Notepad, as I would do from any IDE I happened to be using (e.g. Thonny).
Then pasted the between the ticks, as I do on the MicroPython site without any issues.

[robert-hh]

If it does not work with your IDE, just write the three backticks manually. That's what I'm doing, since I never got used to the <> icon.

[jimmo]

That's just not how it works.

Instead paste the code in. Select it. Then click <>.

Or, manually add the extra `.

What used to be [code] or [/code] in the old site is now ```.

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

Now I got it; wow. You need to paste first, then highlight the pasted code, then select <>. Good grief, so different and complicated compared micropython site

[xytsrm]

Sorry, for all the confusion, on my part. But, on the MicroPython site I would click on the add-code, and simply paste between the XML - done.
So on GitHub I kept clicking on the add-code first, as I did on the MicroPython forum.

[mattytrentini]

Just for an alternative opinion; Github does it exactly as I expect and it's vastly easier than the old forum for me. And, of course, it has syntax highlighting which was sorely missed. Better in every way for me.

So on GitHub I kept clicking on the add-code first, as I did on the MicroPython forum.

Once you're used to it, it should be faster when using just the keyboard: type the backticks (too bad ctrl-e is mapped to single backticks, not triple), hit ctrl-v, type closing backticks.

[robert-hh]

If you have highlighted a series of code lines, ctrl-e will enclose them with three backticks. So:

- paste the code
- highlight it
- push ctrl-e
