How to Format a Reply as a Code Snippet When Responding to a Bitbucket Comment via Slack?

Question

I am trying to reply to a comment, on a PR, on bitbucket with a code snippet instead of plain text, from the associated slack channel.

Accepted Answer

It is quite straightforward. Put the code lines in between these(). As StackOverflow is following the same thing, I have to apply some trick:

Let = AAA. Then,

AAA

This is your code. Place your code here.

AAA

This will be the output:

This is your code. Place your code here.

Answer 2

Have a look at the Atlassian markdown syntax guide:

In to format your comment as a code block you indent it by 4 spaces.

Answer 3

use 3 '`' chars to make a code block. you can also give a language syntax hint by adding the name of the language after the 3 ticks.

i.e.

javascript
var x = 0;

which looks like

var x = 0;

or you can do inline code using a single '`'.

i.e.

Your variable `VAR_NAME` is never initialized

which looks like this

Your variable VAR_NAME is never initialized
