Hello there. How do I add python code formatting to a website.  
I have a line that says ‘print(“hello world”)’  
I try to format it by putting

```nohighlight
print("Hello World!")

```

– but that does not work. I’ve also tried `py, `python, and ```py3.  
How must I format python code on my posts? Thank you.

Nevermind, I’ve got it working – simply go into the plain editor and put ‘python’ after the tildes, in this way:  
‘’‘python  
print(“Hello World!”)  
‘’’
