- 2\$\begingroup\$ @EAKAE, how many different questions like this would actually be interesting? Many of the answers here are general solutions that can execute arbitrary code. \$\endgroup\$user7486– user74862013-04-18 11:18:23 +00:00Commented Apr 18, 2013 at 11:18

- 2\$\begingroup\$ That's a fair assessment. I've replaced that parenthetical with a well-defined constraint that exactly matches the answers deemed acceptable. \$\endgroup\$ashastral– ashastral2021-02-06 03:53:09 +00:00Commented Feb 6, 2021 at 3:53

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

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
