We have been working to improve the code blocks experience and in regard to this ticket requests', we already shipped the following capabilities 1. Showing line numbers & 2. A handy Copy button, that could allow users to copy the content from this macro. We recommend for you to follow this ticket for the rest of the requests. Meanwhile, for collapsing the code block, one workaround that could elevate some of the pain is to put code blocks inside expands.
Thanks,

Allow further customization of the "Code" macro in the new editor. The "Code" macro replaced "Code Block" macro, but it does not allow as many customization options as the macro it replaced.
Current Situation
Currently, the "Code" macro replaced the "Code Block" macro in the new editor, but this new macro won't provide users with much customization options (just its width) as much as the old macro did. This includes:
- Change the background color (theme)
- Collapse
- Show line numbers
- A handy Copy button, that could allow users to copy the content from this macro;
Point of attention
It seems that this macro is not currently highlighting some languages, an example of this is "Shell" as can be seen in the next screenshot no syntax highlight is present in this simple line of code
Additional Note
Provide support for other languages too, e.g. MatLab

[CONFCLOUD-66437] Allow further customization of the "Code" macro in the new editor
Why is this closed? They closed a ticket to add coloring to these code blocks because it duplicated this ticket, and this was closed without resolving that.
Being able to change the background color of the code block is important - when you want to highlight unacceptable examples, a red background would be good. Simple markup does this, why can't this macro
@Zak you can accomplish the collapse option by first adding an expand object in which you can add a code. Unfortunately, you can't add it in a cell of a table.
Why is this closed?
The code block needs to have a collapse button!
Sometimes when pasting in 300 lines of code, it can be tricky to manage. I would like to expand and collapse the code as needed. This is basic functionally.
Please re-open this ticket!
Just spent 20 min trying to figure out why the code block was missing, landed here.
Only to find it closed with "we did our best".
This is still not resolved.....I'm just echoing at this point I guess.
This really needs to be re-reviewed and re-opened as the functionality for highlighting the most common code languages as a bare minimum (C++, C#, JAVA, HTML, CSS, SQL, etc.) isn't even implemented.
This is definitely not resolved, can we request to have the ticket reopend? This great dimensions our use of confluence as our main creation point for our documentation. (at least for us).
I also ran into these issues so I made an Enhanced Code Block macro for Confluence that is available on the Marketplace now.
It supports changing themes, collapsing, auto-collapsing, syntax highlighting for over 300 languages and many other enhancements.
