How to write a good question

[jobrachem]

We think that StackOverflow offers wonderful guidelines on asking good questions, so we refer to their guidelines. Here are the most important takeaways:

Main takeaways

• Search for help before posting. If you don't find anything useful, telling people what you found and why it was not helpful to you may still improve your question, because other people may gain a deeper understanding of your problem.
• Help others reproduce your problem by including a minimal example. The word minimal is important here: The fewer lines of code you include, the easier it is for others to understand it.
• Write a title that clearly summarizes your problem
• Pay attention to spelling and grammar

For a little more detail, I think it is really useful to refer to the following pages on StackOverflow:

Python code blocks

You can make your messages even more easier to read by defining your codeblocks as

```python
a = lsl.Var(1.0, name="a")
```

This will activate syntax highlighting:

a = lsl.Var(1.0, name="a")
