I have found the setting to change the behaviour of the Preformatted Text button in the formatting toolbar. Rather than indent text by 4 spaces, it will now surround it by backticks - as we describe in this much-linked-to post: [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)
