Q: How do I add code and noformat boxes to articles?

Answer

Code and noformat boxes are specified by wiki markup. Simply put the {code} or {noformat} markup tag on each side of the text you want included in the box. In the examples below you can see the wiki markup and the resulting box it creates. The {noformat} style displays the text exactly as you enter it in a mono-spaced font. The {code} tag automatically formats code and allows for additional formatting within the box.

Example {code} wiki markup:

{code} 
 #include <stdio.h>
 int main()
 {
        printf("hello, world");
        return 0;
 }
{code}

Resulting {code} box:

Example {noformat} wiki markup:
Note: The extra box within the panel is an artifact of displaying the noformat tag in an example. You can safely ignore it.
