Question

What package does DigitalOcean use for code snippets in their posts?

The question is as reads. Right now I’m using ckeditor in my Django blog. I’d like to start posting snippets of code on my blog, but I don’t see that type of functionality in ckeditor. I really like the style of content on Digital Ocean, so I decided to come ask.

Hi there,

I believe that this is an inhouse built markdown editor and highlighter.

In the past, I’ve used the following package markdown package for Django:

Hi @shalofty,

I can’t be sure but I think DigitalOcean’ is using a Markdown editor. I might be wrong and someone else can chip in and give further details but I think that’s it.
