Two weeks have passed. Even though we didn't receive any new feedback, the feedback we did receive indicates that forced highlighting is not wanted by the community so I have disabled it.
If you want highlighting of your code blocks, make sure to add the language identifier suffix on the opening code fencing markup:
```cpp
// some C++ code
```
The enabled language identifiers:
| Language/etc. | Identifier |
|---|---|
| Arduino |
arduino, ino
|
| ARM Assembly | armasm |
| AVR Assembly | avrasm |
| Bash | bash |
| C | c |
| C++ | cpp |
| CSS | css |
| diff | diff |
| Go | go |
| HTTP | http |
| Java | java |
| JavaScript | javascript |
| JSON | json |
| makefile | makefile |
| Markdown | markdown |
| POSIX shell | sh |
| PowerShell) | powershell |
| Python | python |
| Python REPL | python-repl |
| SQL | sql |
| text | plaintext |
| TypeScript | typescript |
| XML | xml |
| YAML | yaml |
If we later receive feedback from the community that they miss the forced highlighting, I am happy to turn it back on.
