raw HTML omitted about steampress HOT 8 CLOSED

Update: I found out that with the following markdown notation It seems to work in browser

~~~.language-swift
func getGreeting() -> String {
	return "Hello, World!"
}
~~~

But this makes the WYSIWYG editor display the code striked through.
Also, still curious how I could get HTML to work since it is trusted input, so raw html does not need to be escaped here.

@0xPr0xy if you are trying to enter HTML in a post you want to use Markdown code blocks (see code blocks), so for Swift it would be

func getGreeting() -> String {
	return "Hello, World!"
}

For HTML you want to do

<h1>Hello World!</h1>

Does that do what you were looking for?

😂 Github is formatting my code for me!

from steampress.

```swift
func getGreeting() -> String {
	return "Hello, World!"
}
```

and

```html
<h1>Hello World</h1>
```

Or are you trying to write HTML in your posts that will be rendered as HTML when published or write HTML code in your posts that won't get rendered?

I was trying to use the HTML notation of prism to highlight the swift code, so in essence I was trying to render that html tags to highlight the swift code, markdown works fine though, html rendering is limited I guess

Oh is it now just ‘’’swift I used ~~~language-swift?

Ah yeah use ```swift (three back ticks) to start and end code blocks and it will generate <pre><code class="swift">...</code></pre> which any code highlighting library will work with
