 To address the issue of content overflowing out of its container on the
 page at the specified width, you can follow these steps:

 1. **Verify the Overflow Issue**: First, confirm the overflow issue at a
 width of 425px. This typically involves inspecting elements with developer
 tools in a browser to see which specific elements are overflowing.

 2. **CSS Fix for Overflow**: You can apply a CSS rule that ensures content
 fits within its container. One common solution is to add `overflow-x:
 auto;` to the container holding the code blocks. This makes it possible
 for users to scroll horizontally within the code block if the content
 exceeds the width of the container. Here’s a sample CSS modification:

    ```css
    .code-container {
        overflow-x: auto;
    }
    ```

    Make sure to replace `.code-container` with the actual class or ID of
 the container that holds your overflowing content.

 3. **Media Query for Responsive Design**: Since the issue occurs at a
 specific viewport width, it might be helpful to use a media query to apply
 styles only when the viewport is less than 425px wide:

    ```css
    @media only screen and (max-width: 425px) {
        .code-container {
            overflow-x: auto;
        }
    }
    ```

 4. **Testing the Fix**: After implementing the changes, test the page at
 various screen sizes to ensure the solution works across all devices and
 no other layout issues are introduced.

 5. **Permanent Solution Considerations**: While the `overflow-x: auto;`
 provides a quick fix, it's also worth examining why the content overflows.
 If it’s a frequent issue with different elements on the site, consider a
 more robust approach to responsive design, such as using more flexible
 layout containers like Flexbox or Grid, which can better adapt to various
 screen sizes.

 If the design still breaks or the solution affects other elements
 negatively, you may need to adjust the container sizes or padding/margins
 on elements at specific breakpoints to ensure a more fluid and responsive
 design.
