Tailwind, prose, markdown - code samples show the: ` character

The not-prose did not work for me, although it looks short and elegant. But I found this old tailwind.config.js 2.0 hack and it still works in 3.0:

module.exports = {
  content: ['./layouts/**/*.html'],
  theme: {
    extend: {
        typography: {
            DEFAULT: {
                css: {
                    "code::before": {content: ''},
                    "code::after": {content: ''}
                }
            }
        }
    }
},
  plugins: [
    require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
  ],
}
