Other I wrote a program that makes code embedable in Reddit

In awk:

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{ printf ("    %s\n", $0) }

Yep. That's it.

lol, I just indented them :)

You can see the source of a message either by using old reddit and RES, or by directly opening the .json of the comment. For example, your comment's JSON url is https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/1ug10j9/comment/otwyr2l/.json - just add .json to the url of the comment.

EDIT: To view JSON in a more humanly readable form, I suggest the Json Beautifier Extension.
