A “green” rating overall is the only goal. +. **Use the Edit as HTML option when pasting into preformatted blocks.** Current versions of WordPress are known to strip leading hash marks (#) and leading whitespace when content is pasted into preformatted blocks. Some non-alphanumeric characters may also get garbled (&, <, >, etc.). Using the __Edit as HTML__ option (listed under the vertical ellipsis) prior to pasting content into the block seems to workaround this problem. Be sure to paste your content between the 
 tags and do not overwrite them. After pasting your content, switch back to visual mode by using the __Edit visually__ option to see a better representation of what the final result will look like to the reader.
