I have corrected the flow formatting. You should have used the `</>` button at the top of the forum entry window. In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````) . The `</>` button provides those

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````
