DreamFactory Forum posts are parsed with [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown). Markdown allows for easy formatting of code and text, and strips HTML out of posts by default to prevent security risks. This will show you how to format your code so it shows up.

**Summary**  
To format code so it’s visible, either wrap it in single backticks (`) for a small amount of code, or triple backticks on an otherwise blank line before and after for a large amount of code.
