Code (inline):
This is `code` text
This is code
text
Code block (fenced):
Use three backticks ( ` ) before and after the code lines. The open and close must have the same indent.
Following the backticks, specify the programming language that is used, ie python, javascript, etc, and this will allow syntax highlighting on the front end. If no language is specified, no highlighting will be available.
(Ignore the backslashes \ before the backticks in this example. We added those to show the example code.)
```javascript
{
“firstName”: “John”,
“lastName”: “Smith”,
“age”: 25
}
```
{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Smith",
"age": 25
}
Add metadata to the top of the markdown file. The next line after the metadata line (and blank line) MUST be the article title (# Title).

title: Title for search optimization.
description: This is the article description used for search optimization. Use common search keywords and synonyms.

# Article title {#unique-anchor}

Syntax
Example
Use [!DNL]
for certain solution names (such as Target) and third-party names (such as Microsoft Windows) that should remain in English. Use [!UICONTROL]
for menu commands, dialog box options, and other UI items.
It is not necessary to use [DNL]
for every solution name. The localization team handles common solution names such as Analytics, Audience Manager, and Campaign automatically.
Do not use localization tags in HTML or code because they will display in the rendered output.
Target your objectives by using [!DNL Target] to perform A/B tests.
1. Click the **[!UICONTROL Process]** command.
1. Choose **[!UICONTROL Print All]** to print all the files on your server.
The [!UICONTROL Print All] dialog box appears.
For example, change heading ID:
### My Heading {#custom-id}
