Recommend adding something to note that for all features, they need to have language set first. It doesn't work when it's like this directly

```title="Title"
Code
```

Great point. I made all the options H3s under an H2 for code block options to introduce this information and make it more clear that these options only apply to code blocks. It should be apparent that you can't style inline code, but this makes it more direct.

## Basic
## Adding code samples

### Inline Code
You can add inline code snippets or code blocks. Code blocks support meta options for syntax highlighting, titles, line highlighting, icons, and more.

### Inline code

To denote a `word` or `phrase` as code, enclose it in backticks (\`).

```mdx
To denote a `word` or `phrase` as code, enclose it in backticks (`).
```

### Code Block
### Code blocks

Use [fenced code blocks](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#fenced-code-blocks) by enclosing code in three backticks and follow the leading ticks with the programming language of your snippet to get syntax highlighting. Optionally, you can also write the name of your code after the programming language.
Use [fenced code blocks](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#fenced-code-blocks) by enclosing code in three backticks. Specify the programming language for syntax highlighting and to enable meta options. Add any meta options after the language.

## Syntax Highlighting
## Code block options

You can add meta options to your code blocks to customize their appearance.

<Note>
You must specify a programming language for a code block before adding any other meta options.
</Note>

### Option syntax

* **String and boolean options**: Wrap with `""`, `''`, or no quotes.
* **Expression options**: Wrap with `{}`, `""`, or `''`.

Enable syntax highlighting by adding the language name after the opening backticks of a code snippet.
### Syntax highlighting
Enable syntax highlighting by specifying the programming language after the opening backticks of a code block.

We use Shiki for syntax highlighting and support all available languages. See the full list of [languages](https://shiki.style/languages) in Shiki's documentation.

## Names

Add a title after the programming language to set the name of your code example. The text can be anything as long as its all in one line.
### Title
Add a title after the programming language to label your code example. Titles can be any string on a single line.

```javascript Code Block Example
const hello = "world";
```

````mdx Code Block Example
````mdx
```javascript Code Block Example
const hello = "world";
```
````

## Line Highlighting
### Icon
Add an icon to your code block. You can use [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com/icons) icons, [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/icons/) icons, or absolute URLs.

Highlight specific lines in your code blocks by adding a special comment after the language identifier. Use curly braces `{}` and specify line numbers or ranges separated by commas.
```javascript icon="square-js"
const hello = "world";
```

```javascript Line Highlighting Example {1,3-5}
````mdx
```javascript icon="square-js"
const hello = "world";
```
````

### Line Highlighting
Highlight specific lines in your code blocks using `highlight` with the line numbers or ranges you want to highlight.

```javascript Line Highlighting Example highlight={1-2,5}
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
console.log(greeting);

## Expandable
### Line focusing
Focus on specific lines in your code blocks using `focus` with line numbers or ranges.

```javascript Line Focus Example focus={2,4-5}
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
console.log(greeting);
}
sayHello();
```

````mdx
```javascript Line Focus Example focus={2,4-5}
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
console.log(greeting);
}
sayHello();
```
````

If you have a long code block and `[expandable]` after your title to make it close and expand.
### Show line numbers
Display line numbers on the left side of your code block using `lines`.

```python library.py [expandable]
```javascript Show Line Numbers Example lines
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
console.log(greeting);
}

````mdx

}

Allow users to expand and collapse long code blocks using `expandable`.

### Wrap
Enable text wrapping for long lines using `wrap`. This prevents horizontal scrolling and makes long lines easier to read.

```javascript Wrap Example wrap
const greeting = "Hello, World! I am a long line of text that will wrap to the next line.";
function sayHello() {
console.log(greeting);
}
sayHello();
```
