[Rise 360] Better Code Blocks Feature Request

Hey everyone,

My team does a lot of training that revolves around teaching code and proper syntax. One of the issues we have with Rise is that the code blocks are just so dang basic. No color markup, little options to customize, etc.

I think adding more interactive ways to demonstrate, play with, and teach folks how to code would be a huge win for the tool and I imagine it would just require an update to the current coding block, plus the addition of a coding block type that allows the users to enter code and view errors.

Would this benefit anyone else?

    Raising my hand! I'm working on a course with code highlighting, there are ways to do it. Step one is getting a monospace font (more difficult than you would think), then the coloring. Screenshot from a course below, its possible but requires some CSS both inline and as a block-level element.

    How did you accomplish this? Interested in getting code blocks like this in a course
