When we post code blocks, we can use ``` or ~~~ to open and to close that block.
We can also use programming language to highlight function definition, variables, values, operators:
```java
# ...and to compute them together we use
fn foo(bar, baz) {
let myVar = 123;
let myVar2 = 'out of range';
...
return computeddValue;
}
```
While it is useful for programming code block and usually needs to note exact language, our forum users usually posts log excerpts and shell commands, which could look weird with no language provided.
If not to use text as programming language, than code blocks will looks like plain text perhaps usually more readable.
You can try it by yourself in the next wiki post (start to edit it and check result you have on the right panel).

And only sometimes some current default helps to make it more readable:
```
# Remove NVIDIA USB xHCI Host Controller devices, if present
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x0c0330", ATTR{remove}="1"
# Remove NVIDIA USB Type-C UCSI devices, if present
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x0c8000", ATTR{remove}="1"
# Remove NVIDIA Audio devices, if present
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x040300", ATTR{remove}="1"
```
and with `text` specified:
```text

#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x0c0330", ATTR{remove}="1"

#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x0c8000", ATTR{remove}="1"
# Remove NVIDIA Audio devices, if present
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x040300", ATTR{remove}="1"
```
So, may be to make code block have the programming language config of text by default in forum engine as most cases it looks more readable without default highlighting?
