  I am attempting to post sourcecode in my blog posts.
  I have used [code language="cpp"][/code] and [sourcecode language="cpp"][/sourcecode].

  When I click on preview, sometimes the indentation of the code will be removed, and I’ll need to put it back in, and when I paste in multiple blocks of code, the last one is treated as normal text.

  What gives?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi –

  There are limits on what type of code you can use with WordPress.com because of our shared environment.

  Could you add a screen shot to your media library for me and then I can take a better look.

  I don’t really know what you mean by limits. It’s just formatting the code, not executing it. In any case, I have put two screenshots in my media folder, which shows the formatting in the editor, and in the preview.

  This is what I was referring to about the code: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  I’ll have a look at those screen shots and report back. Hang tight.
