code block
Formatted source text
A code block is a section of programming code displayed as a distinct visual unit, typically set apart by indentation, special formatting, or delimiters.
In documentation and online communication, code blocks preserve exact spacing and use monospace fonts to distinguish code from regular text: Wrap your example in a code block so the formatting stays intact.
In programming languages, a code block groups statements that execute together, often enclosed by braces or defined by indentation.
