Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current code block rendering in OpenWebUI appears to be somewhat basic compared to other interfaces like ChatGPT. This simplicity may affect the readability and visual appeal of code snippets in conversations.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be wonderful if OpenWebUI could improve its code block rendering to enhance readability and aesthetics. Additionally, providing users with options to customize the style of code blocks could be a valuable feature. This could include choices for different color schemes, fonts, or even preset themes that users can select based on their preferences.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative could be to maintain the current rendering but add syntax highlighting for various programming languages. Another option might be to integrate a third-party code rendering library to handle this aspect of the UI.

Additional context
This enhancement would significantly improve the user experience, especially for developers and technical users who frequently share and discuss code snippets. It would also bring OpenWebUI more in line with other popular LLM interfaces in terms of code presentation quality.
