Code Block Isolation Test

This document exists to test code block rendering in complete isolation, without visual interference from images or complex layout.

Baseline Code Block

The code block below should:

• Have a clearly visible gray background
• Have a visible left boundary
• Be visually distinct from surrounding prose

const answer = 42;

function compute(value) {
  if (value === null || value === undefined) {
    throw new Error("Invalid input");
  }

  return value * answer;
}

export default compute;

Code Block After Text

This paragraph exists to verify spacing before the block.

async function fetchData(url) {
  const response = await fetch(url);

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error("Network error");
  }

  return response.json();
}

This paragraph exists to verify spacing after the block.

Inline Code Contrast Test

Inline code should remain subtle but readable.

Examples:

• const x = 10
• fetchData("/api/data")
• response.ok === true

Inline code should not overpower prose, but should be clearly distinguishable.

Multiple Code Blocks Back-to-Back

function alpha() {
  return "alpha";
}

function beta() {
  return "beta";
}

Spacing between consecutive blocks should feel intentional, not collapsed or excessive.

Long Line Horizontal Scroll Test

The line below intentionally exceeds typical viewport width:

const veryLongLine = "This_is_a_very_long_string_designed_to_force_horizontal_scrolling_and_test_overflow_behavior_in_code_blocks_without_wrapping_or_clipping";

You should be able to scroll horizontally without the block breaking layout.

Final Sanity Check

If all of the following are true:

• Code blocks have a visible background
• Boundaries are obvious but not heavy
• Inline code remains subtle
• Spacing feels consistent

Then code block styling is working correctly.
