Why didn't I know about Codesnap 😶
I remember designing the whole thing in Adobe XD for pasting the workflow code.
There is one more thing possible on DEV, it's just that I can't find the article that used it. It was a while ago, similar to the effect of the highlighter.
Are you maybe referring to setting the language to
difffor a triple tick block, then adding a + or - to the beginning of the line to highlight which lines are added/removed?Was this question for me @terabytetiger? :)
Sorry for the confusion- no, it's for Anmol regarding this line:
Nope, didn't knew this at all.
I was refering to this type of hightlighting.
But thanks for telling the diff type, I wasn't aware of that :)
Oh, interesting - I don't think I've ever seen that in a post before!
According to this post you can do it with

Thank you for sharing :)
I think the list of options should be there in devto editor guide as well.
I recently got to know to about this Carbon.now.sh but Codesnap seems more efficient. before this I used design the whole thing in figma or would prefer posting a screenshot.
Anyway, Nice article @cbid2 !!
Oh my HECK, I really wish I would've known about this sooner. I've always been posting screenshots of the code I want to share and then posting
But now I know I can just do
So incredibly cool! Thank you so much!
Awesome article! 🔥 And thanks for the mention ☺️

While CodeSnap has cool features like backgrounds, I suggest using code blocks instead of images of code because it's easy to copy-paste.
Good point there @posandu! 😊
Most of my comments with the new articles here is about the syntax highlighting in code blocks, thanks for explaining it so well and also presenting the code snap extension, I didn’t know about 🫶
Learnt a new stuff today . Thanks Christine :))
Such a nice post !! Definitely hope it gets more traction because I have seen posts that would have benefited from it
Omg thank you so much for this!!🙏I will surely have a usage for this stuff in my future articles 👍 great article, Christine! 🙌
Awesome!
I usually use Carbon to create and beautiful images of your source code.
Everyone can try
Method #1 is just simple markdown syntax and not specific to dev.to 😎

Thanks for the guide @karsten_biedermann. 😊
I just wanted a more detailed explanation of method 1, especially for people unfamiliar with Markdown. Also, based on the responses, a lot of people seemed to have not known that they could use this technique to make their code snippets colorful, so sometimes the simplest thing is not always obvious. 😉
It's great that you were able to bring some light into the darkness for many people 😊.
Absolutely! :)
