There have been two posts in the last couple days where the technique suggested for sharing flows ([How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506/4)) has not worked correctly. The instructions say to select the text then click the Pre- formatted Text button. However in those two instances it seems that only single backticks were added (which is what happens correctly if only a portion of a line is selected).
I wonder whether it would be better if the instructions said to click the button then paste the text in. Or perhaps someone knows the underlying cause.
The problematic threads are [Writing on PLC S7 node works only 25% of the times](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/writing-on-plc-s7-node-works-only-25-of-the-times/27729) and [Sanity check for NWS weather alert Flow](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/sanity-check-for-nws-weather-alert-flow/27849).
