# Code snippets

You can add a code snippet to the text of a paragraph or make it a separate block.

## In the text {#inline}

To add a code snippet to the text, use the ` symbol.

```markdown
`Code snippet` in the text.
```

**Result**

`Code snippet` in the text.

{% note tip %}

We recommend using no more than 100 characters, because the text in these fragments doesn't wrap. For a larger number of characters, make the code a separate block.

{% endnote %}

## Separate block {#block}

To make a code snippet a separate block, separate it from the rest of the text on both sides with the characters ```.

To highlight the syntax, specify the language in which the code is written in the initial line. For example:

```markdown
```sql
```

The list of available languages can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/tree/master/src/languages).

### Displaying Line Numbers {#line-numbers}

If you need to enable the line numbers display in the code block, use the keyword `showLineNumbers'.

Usage example:

````markdown
```sql showLineNumbers
  price= '2000'
  size= '24'  
  color= 'primary'
  variant= 'detailed' 
```
````

**Результат:**

```sql showLineNumbers
  price= '2000'
  size= '24'  
  color= 'primary'
  variant= 'detailed' 
```
