Code blocks provide a way to add custom HTML, Markdown, CSS, and JavaScript to customize your site's content areas. Here's how to use them effectively:

Adding a Code Block:

1. Edit your page or post
2. Click Add Block or an insertion point
3. Select "Code"
4. Click the pencil icon to open the block editor
5. Add your code in the text field

Setting Up Code Types:

• For rendered code: Choose HTML or Markdown from the Type menu
• For code snippets: Enable the "Show Source" option
• For CSS: Use HTML type and wrap code in

  <style>

  tags
• For JavaScript: Use HTML type and wrap code in

  <script>

  tags

Best Practices:

• Use Code blocks for third-party widgets integration
• Display formatted code snippets with "Show Source" enabled
• Preview in Safe Mode to see embedded elements while logged in
• Remove pages from Index to test code visibility
• Disable Ajax if experiencing loading issues

Troubleshooting Tips:

1. Code not displaying:

   • Check if page is in an Index
   • Test while logged out
   • Verify Ajax loading settings

2. Editor access issues:

   • Disable scripts in preview mode
   • Remove problematic code
   • Contact code source for support

Remember to test thoroughly after implementation and ensure compatibility with your site's existing features. For complex customizations, consider consulting with a platform expert or developer.
