Tip: you can use four leading spaces to write code.

I tried, but two spaces yielded what you saw.

[dang → DougGwyn]

Huh, it also needed an extra line break before the first line of code. I didn't realize that! I've fixed it now.

[steveklabnik → dang]

I didn't realize that either, but it's described in formatdoc as such. So if you changed that behavior, probably should change the docs too.

[dang → steveklabnik]

I didn't change the behavior - I just added a newline. Sorry that wasn't clear.

You should be commended for the fast customer service!

[sgt → steveklabnik]

I did not know that, after spending years on HN.
