Markdown Code Blocks in HTML

#webdev #html #css

Hello! I love Markdown code blocks but in default, we don't have Markdown code blocks in HTML. We'll do it with CSS.

1. Adding CSS

1.1. Using Another file for CSS

  • Add this to your CSS: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  • And put this code in style.css: 
.code { width: auto; max-width: 80%; background-color: #2d2d2d; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #444; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; margin-bottom: 15px; } .code pre { margin: 0; } .code code { display: block; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

1.2. Using <style> tag

  • Add this in the style tag: 
.code { width: auto; max-width: 80%; background-color: #2d2d2d; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #444; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; margin-bottom: 15px; } .code pre { margin: 0; } .code code { display: block; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Using It 

<p class="code"> your text here </p>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For example, I used it in my website: https://modvim.quitaxd.online/installation

If it isn't alive, I am giving a screenshot:

I changed background color manually.
