On Hacker News you need to indent code examples with four spaces - like this:

    pgContainer, err := postgres.RunContainer(
        ctx, testcontainers.WithImage("postgres:15.3-alpine"
    ),
    postgres.WithInitScripts(filepath.Join("..", "testdata", "init-db.sql")),
     postgres.WithDatabase("test-db"),
     postgres.WithUsername("postgres"),
     postgres.WithPassword("postgres"),
     testcontainers.WithWaitStrategy(
      wait.ForLog("database system is ready to accept connections").

And, to quote non-code text, you have to do it manually; there is no formatting operator and the code-indent method won’t work (unreadable at many browser widths). I tend to do it like so:

> *Paragraph one.*

> *Paragraph two. Etc.*

Which produces the desired effect:

> Paragraph ‘one’.

> Paragraph two.

(To use a * in a paragraph that’s italic-wrapped, backslash it.)
