Question: Is there a way to change the default language-xxxx

[akshaybabloo]

I am using Squarespace for hosting the website and for some reason the code block they generate has a default class lang- and when I put, say, language-python it comes out as lang-language-python 😫.

Is there any way I could allow prism to look at lang-python instead language-python? I know that I could just replace the class name with language-python buy before I start experimenting I just wanted to know this.

Can you add a class name to a parent element? For example if you add class=“language-ruby” to your body tag, it will be inherited by any code blocks it contains.

Hi! Prism does supports lang-xxx too. So you should be able to use lang-python directly!

[akshaybabloo]

@benkimball Can't do that in Squarespace, unfortunately.

@Golmote Thanks, I didn't know that. Is it documented somewhere?

[Golmote]

@akshaybabloo I don't think so... This behaviour has been here for a very long time. I traced it back to this commit de85c1a.

I agree it should appear somewhere in the docs.
