Code formatting of previews

+3
−0

I just noticed that I'm not getting code formatting in the preview window when I write an answer or make an edit. This is very useful to have.

Not sure if it's a bug so I'm posting this as a feature request. I'm not getting code formatting when I use language-specific formatting tags:

this should have formatting

Nor when I use 4 spaces:

this should have formatting

When I post this meta post the this turns bold since it's a keyword in some languages. During preview, the above looks like:

(Using Firefox).

Reproduced in Chrome (well, I started to edit this post to see it, saw it, and cancelled). There are some differences in how rendering is done in preview vs normal view; I'm not sure what the issues are, but this is probably another of those.

For me it was working fine in Firefox. I think it maybe a problem from another firefox version. Could you say which version are you using? It might occur for extensions also. So, check your extensions either.

@Istiak‭ The latest version, since it auto updates.

@Lundin I think this problem may happen for extensions cause, my Firefox version is latest also.

@Istiak‭ No. I was just able to reproduce the bug on Firefox & Chrome both using my phone. Latest versions no extensions, no plug-ins.
