- Note that, by declaring `sh` as the language, you have implicitly declared "a `#` introduces a comment", because that's what is implied by the `sh` syntax.
But you say you don't want that interpretation. Therefore, **the text you're formatting is not valid `sh` language text**.- So, to avoid `sh` interpretation of your text, you need to avoid declaring `sh` as the language of your text.
- Rather, you are presenting a plain text example: text that the person might see in their terminal console, including the `#` prompt before input.
- That's done with the `console` declaration (maybe others).
- ```console
- # echo hi
- ```
- ```console
- # echo hi
- ```
