I want to add multiline code to my Stack Overflow comments but Stack Overflow parses everything to one line. I tried the two spaces

below is the code

 Set objApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
 objApp.Visible = True
 Set wb = objApp.Workbooks.Open("template.xls", True, False)
 wb.Sheets(1).Rows(3).Delete
 wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = title
 objApp.Cells.Select
 objApp.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
 objApp.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
 With objApp.Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
 .LineStyle = xlContinuous
 .ColorIndex = 0
 .TintAndShade = 0
 .Weight = xlThin
 End With

Answer 1

If you are wanting to add code into a comment then you are doing it wrong.

You should be either editing it into your question/answer or posting it as an answer.

Comments are designed for someone to ask the post owner for clarification. The post owner should then update their post with the requested information. You could then reply to the comment saying you've made the update just to make sure they see it.

Answer 2

Not possible. Comments are all one lines only.

Answer 3

You will have to use Pastebin or put it in a question edit or answer. You cannot have multi-line code in a comment.
