Code editor input for blocks of code or mono-space plain text.
Code inputs are shown for inputs configured with the type code, or for input keys matching:

2 + 2 = 4

Code inputs have the following options available:
Sets the maximum number of visible lines for this input, effectively controlling maximum height. When the containing text exceeds this number, the input becomes a scroll area. Defaults to 30.
Sets the minimum number of visible lines for this input, effectively controlling initial height. When the containing text exceeds this number, the input grows line by line to the lines defined by max_visible_lines. Defaults to 10.
Defines how many spaces lines are auto indented by, and how many spaces tabs are shown as. Optional, defaults to 2.
Changes the colors scheme for syntax highlighting in the editor. Only used if syntax is set. Optional, defaults to monokai. Must be one of:
ambiance chaos chrome clouds clouds_midnight cobalt crimson_editor dawn dracula dreamweaver eclipse github gob gruvbox idle_fingers iplastic katzenmilch kr_theme kuroir merbivore merbivore_soft mono_industrial monokai nord_dark pastel_on_dark solarized_dark solarized_light sqlserver terminal textmate tomorrow tomorrow_night tomorrow_night_blue tomorrow_night_bright tomorrow_night_eighties twilight vibrant_ink xcode
Toggles displaying line numbers and code folding controls in the editor. Optional, defaults to true.
Changes how the editor parses your content for syntax highlighting. Should be set to the language of the code going into the input. Optional, has no default. Must be one of:

Alternatively, you can configure syntax with the naming convention as well, syntax is assumed to be the section preceding the normalized _code_block suffix (e.g. my_javascript_code_block for javascript, or rubyCodeBlock for ruby).
Set how an ‘empty’ value will be saved. Does not apply to existing empty values. Can be one of the following:
string- an empty value for this input will be stored as"".null- an empty value for this input will be stored as a null value (default). This does not apply to TOML files.
