I didn’t find out why it doesn’t let me add a second code block via the Ctrl E sign </> like it works when open a topic new and hit the Ctrl E Sign </> directly and get the empty block and can then add code into it. But the moment I write normal text before and after it, I can hit the Ctrl E sign </> as often as I like some lines under the last text or near it or above it or what but not code block appears afterward. And I paste code always unformatted with Ctrl+Shift+V
This then happens, when hitting the block sign first an then putting text into it by ctrl+shift+V. Do I have to put in 2 .or 3 codeblocks before adding one letter elsewhere???
Text1
Text 2
Like that???
After I wrote "Like that???? above no code-block function anymore.
I usually just add it manually - 3 backticks to start the block, 3 backticks to end it.

Second backtickgroup doesn’t work. Am getting mad with this.
Don’t know what to tell you, I still can’t replicate this. Can you post a screenshot of your post edit before actually posting? The web source is impossible to decipher.
Typing three backticks bevor added a letter text the box comes. Now its over after this text.
I would suggest asking a forum moderator to split this post as most of the responses are related to code-blocks instead of the title. It would get a lot more eyes that way.

@pete67 , try toggling this setting and see if it makes things any easier.
To write a code block, it’s as you’ve done, but perhaps turn off the rich text editor mode. I find I end up wrestling with that as it tries to automate things.
Code blocks:
```Some code and such here

Dosn’t work either.
Typed “kafi” is enough to kill the function with the backticks and the block.

boah, now it works. Don’t understand why but the rich text editor solves it.

With rich text editor it seems to work.

copy text you desire to paste over here. Then past it over here. Select the newly copied text and the press CTRL+E and then it will enclose the entire text

That happens when rich text is on. CTRL+E marks it as single words.
not sure why that happened It always has worked for me doing so as described. Not sure why its breaking up for you? interesting.

In richt text it works like blink showed

Ctrl + G doesn’t work for me it seems. I cannot imagine what is so diffrent from my system to any other.
