how do I correctly paste multi-line xml snippet to github wiki when using markdown

Question

I am trying to create a github wiki for my project. But I am unable to format a snippet from a Spring beans xml file, into this wiki. What is the proper way to do it? I tried using pre tag, code tag, the multiline code tag etc. But either it is not getting displayed at all or It displays everything in the same line.

Answer 1

not 100% sure if this is the same thing or not, but I just setup some xml snippets in my readme.md and used the

<myxml>
   <someElement />  
</myxml>

notation.

Answer 2

Replace all the less-than < and greater-than > symbols with < and > respectively, then wrap in <pre> and <code> as before.
