To show HTML, you have a couple of options. One is to type four tildes in a row on a single line by themselves, then a return, then any amount of code, and then another line with four tildes.

You can also indent each line by four spaces, and that also makes a code block, but it’s not as predictable for all kinds of code.

There, I did it to show what the tildes look like when you are pasting in a block of code.
If you have a few words of code that you want to set off from the rest of a line of text, you can use the back-tick character ( ` ) on either side of the word or words. The back-tick must touch the words it is denoting, there cannot be any spaces between the word or words and the back-tick on either side. Again, using the spaces trick, heres what that would look like:
`these words will be marked as code`
Or in a sentence: these words will be marked as code, but the rest will not.
