Apparently I’m not the first person with this idea, but we’re getting a lot of posts from new people who are asking for code help but don’t know how to format their code for the forum. It would probably be a good idea to include a sample code block in the “new topic” template.

What’s worse is the template has single-line code blocks for the question.
### Godot Version
`Replace this line with your Godot version`### Question
`Ask your question here! Try to give as many details as possible`
So people will type out all their information in a single monospace line and worse yet paste images as unclickable links or failed uploads.
This would be a better template with minimal changes.

# Paste any code here
```
I see some people try to explain how to paste code, seems relevant so: you can post three ticks without creating a code block by using the back slash \
\```gd
\# example of an example code paste
func my_test() \-> void:
print(\"test\")
\```
turns into:
```gd
# example of a code paste
func my_test() -> void:
print("test")
```
Which then turns into:
# a code paste
func my_test() -> void:
print("test")
