Remove the ellipsis from multiline codeblock

[mschasz]

I saw this note that there is an ellipsis added to the CodeBlock component when it is multiline. Are there any plans to remove this ellipsis when the CodeBlock component is multiline? If there aren't any plans, can we request that this ellipsis be removed? Thanks!

Based on the current implementation of the CodeBlock component in the Paste codebase, there is no ellipsis added for multiline code blocks. The CodeBlock component uses the SyntaxHighlighter component to render the code, and while it does have properties for wrapLines and wrapLongLines, there is no property or functionality implemented for displaying an ellipsis when the code exceeds a certain number of lines or length. You can verify this in the CodeBlock.tsx file.

As for the specific reason why an ellipsis might be added to the CodeBlock component when it is multiline, I wasn't able to find any information within the repository. It's possible that this could be a design or usability decision, but without further context or information, it's hard to say for certain.

If you have more information about where you saw this ellipsis or if you have any other questions, please let me know!

Hey @mschasz - we have no existing plans to remove the ellipsis on the multi-line codeblock. Can you share your use case for needing it removed? Thanks!
