Here, the "source" keyword is highlighted in blue.
When I try to copy and paste the terminal code, it pasted in plain text with without any type of format in forum.
So my question is that how can I make preformatted text colorized??

It's a markdown syntax:

```bash
echo "Hello, here is the answer!"
```

becomes:

echo "Hello, here is the answer!"

  1. The top and the bottom line should be removed to make the code fence work.
  2. It's terminal output rather than bash commands so the code highlighting may would not work.

Thanks for your reply @sosiristseng. This will improve my knowledge. But I specifically need the terminal command highlighting. And by the way love for Taiwan.

Some extra things:

If you want to share colored terminal sessions both colored input and output, I found asciinema an interesting choice. But it's an external tool so it's not the first line choice in the forum.
