Sooooo much better than the default code block. It’s great for lists too. For instance,
I’ve used it for the ingredient list for recipes. Makes it really easy to c/p into
a .txt for a grocery list.

Thanks! It works flawless. A nice extra feature with be a ‘copy’ button to copy 
the content to the clipboard, as lots of my snippets can be used directly. Thanks
again.
