Code block: syntax-highlighted code

A syntax-highlighted code block with a language picker, an optional line-number gutter, and a copy-to-clipboard button. It supports 30+ languages via Prism. The LaTeX and Mermaid languages include a live preview tab.

Pasting markdown fenced code blocks (``) or <pre> elements automatically creates a code block. The language comes across whenever the pasted source names it: a fence that opens with ``sql, or a labelled code block copied out of an app such as Gemini.
