The first step is to create a content type with a text element for the code of the sample, together with a selector of the programming language the code uses.The programming language selector is important because you need to instruct your website or app how to display the code, especially what syntaxt highlighting to use.
Elements in the content type
For the code itself, use a text element and make it required.The programming language selector is best implemented using a multiple choice element:
Add an option for every language your content creators and developers use.
Mark the element as required because every code sample uses some language.
Select Limit to a single choice to display as a drop-down.
Drop-downs allow only a single option to be selected, which makes sense because code samples usually use one language predominantly and need syntax highlighting for that language only.
Insert code samples into your content
When you have the content type for code samples defined, you can start adding samples to your articles:
InContent & assets, open an article for editing.
Place the cursor into a rich text element where you want to add a code sample.
