Proof of Concept
To test this feature, follow the below steps
- Navigate to the Idea tab, and click on any idea. It will drill down you to an idea detail page
- Here you can paste the sample code ( I will show you the first old output then you will come to know the difference between both).
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(“Hello, World”);
}
} - Paste the sample code and click on Post.
- Now, we will try a new feature first copy a code sample from any text editor and click on
button to open the Add a code sample text box. Similar to the below screenshot
- Click on OK, then click on Post. The code sample appears in the body of the post with its formatting intact.
- Below image shows the difference between the old and new method
