Teams does not use proper markdown formatting. In both Teams and Slack you can open a code block with three apostrophes (```), but in Slack you can also use three apostrophes to close it. In Teams that doesn't work - the only way to close a block is to type in two consecutive line breaks. This means you cannot have empty lines in the middle of your code (at least not without workarounds).

Shift+Enter is your friend, at least in that one particular situation. Alt+Enter seems to work as well. Ctrl+Enter will send the message.

Teams code blocks using triple tick screw up indenting. To get a semi functional code block I have to click 3+ buttons in the text formatting screens. It’s a train wreck.

In a 1:1 chat, there's no support for multi-line code blocks. There _is_ support in team channels, but when you copy-paste on the receiving end, line breaks don't make it through into the paste buffer.

It’s buggy as hell and non-intuitive
