This is hilarious

Some clients make it worse by not wrapping text in code blocks. Please use > at the start of each line (including blank ones between paragraphs) to make a quote block. If you need a newline (such as in poems), end the line with 2 spaces and just one line break. If you really need to put non-code inside a code block (such as ASCII art or this), the best practice is to use the following syntax:

```text
bla bla bla
```

This specifies text as the syntax-highlighting language (which obviously means no highlighting) rather than whatever the default is (Java?).
