# CodeBlock
With the CodeBlock extension you can add fenced code blocks to your documents. It’ll wrap the code in `<pre>` and `<code>` HTML tags.

Type three backticks and a space (`\`` ) and a code block is instantly added for you.

::: warning Restrictions
The CodeBlock extension doesn’t come with styling and has no syntax highlighting built-in. It’s on our roadmap though.
