# Developer-specific formatting
### Inline code

Inline code formats text using a monospace font to indicate technical content in a sentence such as code, paths, etc.

Example of inline code being used to illustrate file system paths as well as shell commands (`git` in this case).

To insert an inline code:

*   Via the [Formatting toolbar](Formatting%20toolbar.md), look for the ![](2_Developer-specific%20formatt.png) button.
*   Type \`code\` where `code` is the desired text to be automatically formatted as inline code.

### Code blocks

Code blocks display a snippet of code as a dedicated block:

A code block with JavaScript syntax highlight enabled.

Note that these are not meant for very large portions of code. Use the dedicated [Code](../Code.md) note type instead.

See the dedicated documentation for more information: [Code blocks](Developer-specific%20formatting/Code%20blocks.md)

### Keyboard shortcuts

This allows marking a portion of text as a shortcut key.

To apply this style, press the ![](5_Developer-specific%20formatt.png) button in ![](1_Developer-specific%20formatt.png) group from the [Formatting toolbar](Formatting%20toolbar.md). On the floating toolbar, the buttons appear when selecting a text.
