title: How to use code block formatting in gmail (or any other email)?
body: <p>This question is not very technical, but I am trying to do something specific with formatting code for use in emails.
  I am trying to email a colleague several command line prompts like the one below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\DOOKIE\Documents\research&gt;hg branches
  default                      476:7556c41ee089
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to send it in a codeblock, with a grey background similar to the format above. Does anyone know how to do this in Gmail? </p>
