Editing Geek Code (section)

==Format==
Geek codes can be written in two formats;<ref name="geekcode"/> either as a simple string:<br>
{{sxhl|GED/J d-- s:++>: a-- C++(++++) ULU++ P+ L++ E---- W+(-) N+++ o+ K+++ w--- O- M+ V-- PS++>$ PE++>$ Y++ PGP++ t- 5+++ X++ R+++>$ tv+ b+ DI+++ D+++ G+++++ e++ h r-- y++**|zeek}}
...or as a "Geek Code Block", a parody of the output produced by the encryption program [[Pretty Good Privacy|PGP]]:<br>
{{sxhl|-----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
  Version: 3.1
  GED/J d-- s:++>: a-- C++(++++) ULU++ P+ L++ E---- W+(-) N+++ o+ K+++ w---
  O- M+ V-- PS++>$ PE++>$ Y++ PGP++ t- 5+++ X++ R+++>$ tv+ b+ DI+++ D+++
  G+++++ e++ h r-- y++**
-----END GEEK CODE BLOCK-----|pem}}
Note that this latter format has a line specifying the version of Geek Code being used.

(Both these examples use Hayden's own geek code.)<ref name="jargon">{{cite web |title=geek code |url=http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/G/geek-code.html |website=The Jargon File (version 4.4.7) |access-date=16 November 2018 |archive-date=August 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814154444/http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/G/geek-code.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
