a) How do I get code in a question to look right for the reader?
For instance, if I needed to ask about this SQL command…
SELECT * FROM xact WHERE frm IS NULL
… what’s the best markdown approach? (I’ve enclosed it in
… but used less-than and greater-than signs instead of the [ and ] used in this sentence. PLEASE tell me there’s a better way?? Or at least a way to use that lets me do a whole block of code with just one [code] at the start and one
at the end… without losing the new-lines.
(For those who look at this in the future, here is the “backtick” answer,
in action… SELECT * FROM xact WHERE frm IS NULL
(one at each end)
The following ONLY needed “indent each line by four spaces”…

b) Is there a way to look at the “raw” version of posted material, to learn from that??
(Answer was "No, not until you have enough karma points… lots… to be able to edit other people’s posts.)
