Preformatted Text

Typographically, preformatted text is not the same thing as code. Sometimes, a faithful execution of the text requires preformatted text that may not have anything to do with code. Most browsers use Courier and that’s a good default — with one slight adjustment, Courier 10 Pitch over regular Courier for Linux users.

Code

Code can be presented inline, like <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, or within a <pre> block. Because we have more specific typographic needs for code, we’ll specify Consolas and Monaco ahead of the browser-defined monospace font.

Code blocks can also be inserted with the highlight tag as below:

    
    {% highlight language-x %}
    # some code
    {% endhighlight %}
    

More information about code highlighting in jekyll can be found in Jekyll documentation.

These area a couple of examples showing the resulting highlighted code:

/* css code sample */
#container {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
    width: 100%;
}

// javascript code sample
$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: 'backend.php',
  data: "q="+myform.serialize(),
  success: function(data){
    // on success use return data here
  },
  error: function(xhr, type, exception) {
    // if ajax fails display error alert
    alert("ajax error response type "+type);
  }
});

// Swift code sample
import Foundation

@objc class Person: Entity {
  var name: String!
  var age:  Int!

  init(name: String, age: Int) {
    /* /* ... */ */
  }

  // Return a descriptive string for this person
  func description(offset: Int = 0) -> String {
    return "\(name) is \(age + offset) years old"
  }
}

Blockquotes

Let’s keep it simple. Italics are good to help set it off from the body text. Be sure to style the citation.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it I can sing it for you. — HAL 9000
