Why?

I want to support inline code block in remark-react-lowlight project. However, the specs of libraries which remark-react-lowlight depends on unable me to confirm code block is inline or not. Of course, in mdast there are differences between inlinecode and non-inlinecode, but the props bound from remark-react to remark-react-lowlight doesn't contains the differences. The difference is lost procedure to convert mdast to hast, so I don't know how to support inline code block in remark-react-lowlight.

Problems

1. inline code block

e.g.

`some inline code block`

Props bound from remark-react is

props = {
  children: ["some inline code block"]
};

2. code block without a specific language

e.g.

\`\`\`
some
code
block
\`\`\`

Props bound from remark-react is

props = {
  children: ["some\ncode\nblock\n"]
}

We cannot confirm code block is inline or not from props bound from 'remark-react' because the same props bound from 'remark-react';
