<h2>Known failures</h2>
<p>A list of rare edge cases where Prism highlights code incorrectly.</p>
</header>
<section>
<p>There are certain edge cases where Prism will fail. There are always such cases in every regex-based syntax highlighter. <br>
However, Prism dares to be open and honest about them. If a failure is listed here, it doesnt mean it will never be fixed. This is more of a “known bugs” list, just with a certain type of bug.</p>

<h1 id="themes">Themes</h1>
<p>Some of our themes are not compatible with certain layouts.</p>
<h2>Coy</h2>
<p>Coy's shadows and background might not wrap around the code correctly if combined with float of flexbox layouts.</p>
<img src="assets/img/failures/coy-overlap.png"/>
<h3>Workarounds</h3>
<p>There are 2 possible workarounds:</p>
<p>The first workaround is setting <code>display: flex-root;</code> for the <code>pre</code> element. This will fix the issue but <code>flex-root</code> has <a href="https://caniuse.com/#feat=flow-root">limited browser support</a>.</p>
<p>The second is adding <code>clear: both;</code> to the style of the <code>pre</code> element. This will fix the issue but it will change the way code blocks behave when overlapping with other elements.</p>
