Shrubbery, Rhombus's first-pass indentation-sensitive syntax, has a syntax form to facilitate copy-paste.
With guillemets, « and », you can make a section of Shrubbery code indentation-insensitive. The idea for copy-paste it to "armor" the section you want to copy with guillemets in the right places, and unarmoring it after posting.
This needs editor support to do fluidly, but imo it's much better than trying to copy-paste the indentation-sensitive syntax.
I can't tell from my 5 minutes of poking DrRacket whether it supports this "armoring", I've been writing Shrubbery in nvim, which, unsurprisingly, does not support it.

The Guillemets syntax is described here: <https://docs.racket-lang.org/shrubbery/group-and-block.html#...>

In DrRacket mark the section (with shift+arrows) then use tab or shift+tab.
That's horrifying.
At least it shows that the authors are aware of this issue and planned for it.
