How to Insert Code Blocks in Blogger (Blogspot) If you write about Python, SQL, PowerShell, or anything technical, you’ll eventually need clean code blocks that don’t break formatting. Blogger doesn’t have a perfect “code block” button by default, but you can get reliable results with a few simple patterns. Method 1: The simple, built-in way (<pre><code>) This is the most common and reliable method. You write your post normally, switch to HTML view , and wrap your code with <pre><code>...</code></pre> .
