Is the code block not enough inside the collapsible window? I'm guessing you are asking that the whole thing would be a collapsible code block that you add a title for and it's a code block inside that only?

Yeah, the codeblocks are only very basic and lack of headline, description which language and the ability to react on different keywords properly. There are different feature request in this regards

Having a feaure like this one will greatly improve readability : You can mix "real" code with terminal commands without confusion about which is which. Or perhaps a template could do the job without duplicating functionalities?
