Monospaced Font w/out Syntax Highlighting in Github Flavored Markdown

Question

The title pretty much says it all: I'd like to write a paragraph in monospaced font using GFM, but without any programming language's syntax highlighting. I'd think it would be

```txt

or

```text

or maybe nothing:

```

But no luck. Is this even possible with GFM?

Better for either Web Apps (since it has nothing to do with coding) or direct to GitHub:Support – Poucher

This also doesn't work in gitter ... awful when trying to paste compiler messages. – Wille

Answer 1

Try indenting with four spaces (i.e. a normal markdown code block) rather than using a fenced code block. This worked for me in GitLab. In GitHub just ``` worked.

It appears to be working, now... Not sure what was happening. – Bysshe

Sure would have been nice if they (Github) hadn't borked the tt tag. :( – Isis
