Code blocks need syntax highlighting.

Veritula used to have this feature but I removed it when diffing changed.

Would be nice if the copy button was sticky-top so that it scrolled with the user.

1st of 2 versions

A sticky button can't work here: the main content area has to be a horizontal scroll container so deeply nested trees can grow sideways, and that stops position: sticky from sticking. The workarounds (reworking the global layout, or JavaScript positioning that jitters on mobile) are too risky for such a small benefit.
