Description

Description

The <code> CSS on the page causes problems in design on large and small screens - for example, check out this screenshot:

...and this video on mobile (causes unwanted escaping of the layout horizontally and unexpected left-right scrolling):

@karlhorky has suggested the following CSS changes to improve this design, inspired by GitHub's CSS for <code> elements:

code { font-size: 0.9em; padding: 0.15em 0.3em; border-radius: 6px; max-width: 100%; }
a code { color: var(--wp--preset--color--brand-links); text-decoration: underline; }

I added as a custom CSS for now, and would appreciate it if you could add it as a permanent fix.
