How to create Stylish Codebox?
Creating Codebox for Blog Posts will not require much knowledge about HTML, CSS or JS because I have already designed it for you. What you need to do is to implement the codes at right place in your Blogger Theme XML.
Important!Before we start adding codes in XML, I will recommend you to take a Backup of your current theme. By chance if any problem occurs, you can restore it later.
Step 1: First of all Login to your Blogger Dashboard.
Step 2: On Blogger Dashboard, click Theme.
Step 3: Click the arrow down icon next to 'customize' button.
Step 4: Click Edit HTML, you will be redirected to editing page.
Step 5: Now search the code ]]></b:skin> and paste the following CSS Codes just above to it.
If your template has a dark mode feature, and if you want a different color when in dark mode, you can customise the codes as per your need. Each template can have a different dark mode class, so please adjust it, you can replace the marked class with your template dark mode class.

.cBox pre::before, .cBox pre::after{content:''}
.darkMode .cBox{background:#2d2d30}
.darkMode .cBox pre{background:#252526;color:#fffdfc}
Step 6: Add the following CSS Codes just below to CSS Codes we have added in Step 5.

.tNtf span{position:fixed;left:24px;bottom:-70px;display:inline-flex;align-items:center;text-align:center;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:20px;z-index:99981;background:#323232;color:rgba(255,255,255,.8);font-size:14px;font-family:inherit;border-radius:3px;padding:13px 24px; box-shadow:0 5px 35px rgba(149,157,165,.3);opacity:0;transition:all .1s ease;animation:slideinwards 2s ease forwards;-webkit-animation:slideinwards 2s ease forwards}
@media screen and (max-width:500px){.tNtf span{margin-bottom:20px;left:20px;right:20px;font-size:13px}}
@keyframes slideinwards{0%{opacity:0}20%{opacity:1;bottom:0}50%{opacity:1;bottom:0}80%{opacity:1;bottom:0}100%{opacity:0;bottom:-70px;visibility:hidden}}
@-webkit-keyframes slideinwards{0%{opacity:0}20%{opacity:1;bottom:0}50%{opacity:1;bottom:0}80%{opacity:1;bottom:0}100%{opacity:0;bottom:-70px;visibility:hidden}}
.darkMode .tNtf span{box-shadow:0 10px 40px rgba(0,0,0,.2)}
Note that we already have used the above CSS Codes in previous posts. If you already have added it in your Theme XML, then skip this step and follow the next steps.
Step 7: Paste the following HTML just below to <body> tag. If you don't find it, it is probably already parsed which is <body>.
<!--[ Toast Notification by Fineshop ]--> <div id='toastNotif' class='tNtf'></div>
Again don't add if you already have added it.
Step 8: Now add the following JavaScript Code just above to </body> tag. If you don't find it, it is probably already parsed which is </body>.
<script>/*<![CDATA[*/ /* Codebox Script by Fineshop Design */ function copyC(e,t){var o=document.getElementById(e),n=document.getElementById(t),e=getSelection(),t=document.createRange();e.removeAllRanges(),t.selectNodeContents(n),e.addRange(t),document.execCommand("copy"),e.removeAllRanges(),o.classList.add("copied"),document.getElementById("toastNotif").innerHTML="<span>Copied to Clipboard!</span>",setTimeout(()=>{o.classList.remove("copied")},3e3)} /*]]>*/</script>
Step 9: Save the changes by clicking on this icon
That's done! Now use the following HTML Codes in your Blog Posts wherever you want to add Codebox.
<!--[ Code Box 1 ]-->
<div class='cBox'>
<div class='cBoxH'>
<!--[ Heading ]-->
<span>HTML</span>
<!--[ Copy Button ]-->
<button id='copy1' class='cBoxB' onclick="copyC('copy1','code1')">

</div>
<!--[ Content ]-->
