#How to only target <code> for inline blocks

Hi @primal swan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Astro's built-in <Code /> component provides an inline prop that you can use to render inline code blocks. Here's how you can use it:
<Code code={`const foo = 'bar';`} lang="js" inline />
This will render the code const foo = 'bar'; inline. However, this won't automatically differentiate between inline code and block code in your markdown content.
Currently, there's no built-in way in Astro to differentiate between inline code blocks and full-length code blocks when assigning custom components to HTML elements in markdown. This is because the markdown is converted into HTML elements without distinguishing between the context in which the code block is used.
A workaround could be to manually implement Prism style for elements with the language- class prefix, as suggested in a Github issue (https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/1532). However, this is not an ideal solution and the issue remains open for a better solution.
