If a text field doesn’t have a toolbar, formatting is not supported for that field.

Best practices for entering code in a text box

You may need to enter portions of code into a text box in Greenhouse Recruiting, such as when completing a scorecard for an interview that included a coding exercise. 

When entering code in the text box, paste it using CTRL + shift + V to prevent entering unintended formatting from your code editor.

Then apply Code formatting to the text you added (Paragraph > Inline > Code). This format adds the tag <code> around the text, which tells your browser to display the text within the tag, rather than render it.
