- \$\begingroup\$ what is the exact input format? Is it a string or an object? \$\endgroup\$Ludonope– Ludonope2016-11-22 22:00:21 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2016 at 22:00
- \$\begingroup\$ @Ludonope Whatever makes your code easier. See note 3. I expect most people will use an object, because writing a parser is probably not fun, but I don't want to discourage any possible interesting stack based approaches. \$\endgroup\$wim– wim2016-11-22 22:07:02 +00:00Commented Nov 22, 2016 at 22:07
- 4\$\begingroup\$ The characters │, ├, └, ─ are conveniently available in most languages, but each one requires 3 bytes in UTF8, so using the ASCII gives a better score \$\endgroup\$edc65– edc652016-11-24 16:02:38 +00:00Commented Nov 24, 2016 at 16:02

How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
