When to use

Use this component when source needs more context than a plain fenced block can provide, or when multiple code representations should stay synced.

Tips

  • Optimize for copy-paste reliability. Labels, tabs, and annotations should help readers choose the right snippet without modifying it first.
  • Keep examples small enough to scan but realistic enough to survive first use in a real project.
  • If the code block is critical to task completion, mirror the same example in prose so search and AI tools can recover the intent.
