Google Chat（Hangouts Chat）是否有指定多行code snippets的语法？

Totally get where you’re coming from—using four leading spaces to format code blocks is second nature if you’re used to Stack Overflow’s Markdown, so it’s definitely annoying that Google Chat (formerly Hangouts Chat) doesn’t support this natively right now.

Here’s what you need to know, plus practical workarounds:

• Current supported code formatting options: Google Chat only recognizes two Markdown-style code formats right now:
  • Inline code snippets: Wrap short bits of code with single backticks, like const greeting = "Hello!"
  • Multi-line code blocks: Use three backticks (```) at the start and end of your code block to get proper formatting, like this:

    def fetch_data(url):
        response = requests.get(url)
        return response.json()
    

• No four-leading-spaces support (yet): Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way to trigger a code block just by adding four spaces before lines in Google Chat. This is a super common feature request from users who’re used to SO-style Markdown, so it’s possible Google might add it in a future update—but there’s no official timeline for that right now.

If you’re really set on using four spaces as your formatting trigger, you might need to rely on browser extensions or third-party tools that auto-convert four-space indents to triple backticks before you send your message. Just keep in mind these aren’t official solutions, so test them out first to make sure they play nice with Chat.
