Code Fences

In Evidence, most code fences execute SQL queries and display the results in a table.

This code fence will execute a SQL query and display the results:

```widget_orders 
SELECT * 
FROM orders 
WHERE category = 'widget'
```

The exception is if you use one of the reserved language names, which will render the code in a code block.

```python
names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]

for name in names:
    print("Hello, " + name)
```

```r
names <- c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie")

for (name in names) {
    print(paste("Hello, ", name))
}
```

Tables

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Row 1    | Row 1    | Row 1    |
| Row 2    | Row 2    | Row 2    |

To display data in a table, use a Data Table instead.
