### Placeholders In Sample Code

Placeholders in sample code represent values that the user must replace when they use the sample code. To indicate a placeholder in inline code, use code formatting, italics, and all caps. To indicate a placeholder in a code block, use all caps and introduce the code block with text instructions that further clarify what the user needs to replace. For details on how to apply italics and code formatting together, see Shortcodes, Markdown, and HTML.

## Verb Tense

Use present tense. The present tense is often easier to read and understand than the past or future tense. It is the best choice for most content. For more information, see the [Verb Tense](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/grammar/verbs#verb-tense) section in *Microsoft Style Guide*.
