The Problem

WordPress’s Gutenberg editor has a native Code block. It looks like this:

function storefront_post_nav()
{
    $args = [
        'next_text'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . esc_html__('Next post:', 'storefront') . ' </span>%title',
        'prev_text'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . esc_html__('Previous post:', 'storefront') . ' </span>%title',
        'in_same_term' => true,
    ];

    the_post_navigation($args);
}
