How to post text in forum

literal text preformatted?

There is a little question mark on the right of the input box. click that for help. However, short answer is this forum uses a sort of markdown (like Grav itself) so code is entered with triple backticks, type your code, triple-backticks again:

yourcode

thanks. let's try

here are some dashes 
-```
but they dont come out
-```
this bit is also code

sorry didnt work. the above contained some dashes but they do not appear.

This is a bug/feature of muut forum which we are using. It's a JS solution and does not have full markdown features. We just make do with it the best we can :)

ok. thanks.
