Now that we've injected the custom button, we need to style it!

`css
.gatsby-code-button-container {}
.gatsby-code-button {}
.gatsby-code-button-icon {}
.gatsby-code-button-toaster {}
.gatsby-code-button-toaster-text {}
`

To apply custom styles import stylesheet in your app's root gatsby-browser.js.

`js
// gatsby-browser.js
import './src/styles/custom-code-buttons.scss';
`

In your Markdown content

````js
`js
alert('click to copy 💾');
`
````

This plugin will parse the Markdown AST, pluck the button, and then "clean" the code snippet language for further
processing. With the default config options this plugin will create the following structure, injecting a custom div:

`html
class="gatsby-code-button-container"
data-toaster-id=""
data-toaster-class="gatsby-code-button-toaster"
data-toaster-text-class="gatsby-code-button-toaster-text"
data-toaster-text=""
data-toaster-duration="3500"
onClick="copyToClipboard(alert('how cool is this');)"
