Code Blocks

Use triple backticks to create code blocks with language-specific syntax highlighting:

def fibonacci(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)

for i in range(10):
    print(fibonacci(i), end=' ')

Blockquotes

Writing is the best companion to thinking. When you try to turn your thoughts into words, you’ll find your thinking becomes clearer and more organized.
