Indented Code Blocks

Indented code blocks are defined in Markdown by indenting each line of the block by four spaces. For example, the following turns a code fragment written in the C programming language into an indented code block:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
      printf("Hello, world!\n");
    }

Indented code blocks can also be produced using tabs instead of spaces. One tab is the equivalent of four spaces. For example:

  #include <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
  }

Indented code blocks continue until there is a line that is not indented (or it is the end of the document).
