Text prose and code have different width requirements, with prose benefiting from restricted width for readability and code blocks suffering from restrictions causing horizontal scrolling and hindering readability.
To address code block width issues, a solution involving Hugo's wrapperClass and CSS negative margin was provided.
By configuring Hugo to add a CSS class to code blocks and applying CSS with negative margin and 'fit-content' property, code blocks can extend beyond text width while keeping prose properly wrapped.
The solution allows text to remain readable while giving code blocks the space they need, with considerations for browser support and screen width variations.
