How to color syntax in a post?

Site Feedback

In some of the threads on this discourse, I’ve seen people post code snippets with colored syntax which makes the code a tad easier to read.

I’ve tried using the same <!-- language : lang-js --> type syntax found on SO but that doesn’t seem to work.

Is there any documentation on how to enable code snippet syntax highliting in the Aurelia discourse?

Haven’t noticed that before but it seems like wrapping text in ``` does some formatting

Doublequotes color me "red"

I have no idea, why that first word is greenish…

Hmm, I can’t seem to get it to work. Are you stating that just wrapping text in ``` does the trick? IOW [backtick][backtick][backtick]my text[backtick][backtick][backtick]?

this is what i get

Just realized that the ``` have to be on their own line:

<div class="myclass"></div>

If on the same line you get this:

<div class="myclass"></div>
