+++ title = "Code blocks" weight = 1 +++

Markdown already supports code samples both inline (using single backticks like `some code here`) and in blocks. Infusion will syntax highlight HTML, CSS, and JavaScript if you provide the correct language in the formulation of the block.

So, this…

{{}}

<button aria-pressed="false">toggle me</button>

{{}}

… will result in this:

<button aria-pressed="false">toggle me</button>

Note that the syntax highlighting uses a greyscale theme. Infusion is careful not to use color as part of its own design, because these colors may clash with those of the design being illustrated and discussed.

{{% note %}} To preserve the wrapping inside code blocks, horizontal scrolling is implemented. To make sure scrolling is keyboard accessible, code blocks are focusable. An aria-label is provided to identify the code block to screen reader users. {{% /note %}}
