Can you share an example? I couldn’t reproduce it with some sources I tried.

The issue with the Docusaurus output is that its code block uses one `div` per line, which wasn’t really expected. I merged a fix today.

Here’s the output of the same copy&pasted selection:

* * *

Every document has a unique `id`. By default, a document `id` is the name of the document (without the extension) relative to the root docs directory.

For example, the ID of `greeting.md` is `greeting`, and the ID of `guide/hello.md` is `guide/hello`.

```bash
website # Root directory of your site
└── docs
   ├── greeting.md
   └── guide
      └── hello.md

```

However, the **last part** of the `id` can be defined by the user in the front matter. For example, if `guide/hello.md`’s content is defined as below, its final `id` is `guide/part1`.

```md
---
id: part1
---

Lorem ipsum

```

The ID is used to refer to a document when hand-writing sidebars, or when using docs-related layout components or hooks.
