Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue; start by locating the website's code-block styling and rendering entry points. Compare the current presentation with GitHub-style listings, then verify that code is more readable and that language tags provide syntax highlighting.

Description

enhancement Good First Issue

We are a technical project, and we'll probably show source code and code listings on our website every now and then.
Thus, it would be great if such code listings would fit into the overall theme and look better.

Right now, code blocks are hard to read due to a small font size.

I think a layout similar to how this is rendered here on Github would be a good improvement. Ideally, we'd also support language tags to get code highlighting.
