Separation of example file name from contents in wiki
The name of a file and the contents displayed need to be separated for sample files shown in the wiki pages.
I'm looking at the Home_Assistant page in the wiki. There's a sample YAML file, the contents in a pale blue box. So scrape the entire contents, paste it into a text file, and try it out. No go! Syntax error in the YAML: "mapping values are not allowed..." (details are not relevant; the error is erroneous.) Got nowhere trying to figure this out, and I'm no expert on YAML.
Until I asked Gemini! It said that the first line appeared to be the file's name. Aha! I had scraped the entire contents of the pale blue box. There's nothing indicating that first line really isn't a first line, but metadata.
Solution: use a different background color, font, underline, div border, or otherwise visually make the file's name look different, not like the contents of the file below it.

There is a dotted line beneath the filename separating it from the rest of the file contents, did you not notice the dotted line?

It's close to invisible. Crank up the contrast!

Re: Separation of example file name from contents in wiki
The dotted line is indeed not very visible, but the first line is very clearly a filename :
~/homeassistant/docker-compose.yml
C/p something from the internet without understanding it is a bad habit.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
