Hello, is it there a way to disable the chroma support? I want to bring my own syntax highlight (highlight.js). I guess server side highlight is better than client-side, but chroma doesn’t support angular very well.

Thanks.

I suppose that if you set the [default Highlight configuration settings](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup#highlight) to `false`, then Chroma should be disabled.

I tried to do (in json):

```auto
"markup": {
  "highlight": false
}

```

That doesn’t work, highlight expect and object and not a boolean. Not sure if that is what you meant

No that is not what I meant.

I suggested that in your project’s config, you copy the table of the default configuration and turn off the enabled settings:

```auto
anchorLineNos = false
    codeFences = false
    guessSyntax = false
    hl_Lines = ""
    lineAnchors = ""
    lineNoStart = ""
    lineNos = false
    lineNumbersInTable = false
    noClasses = false
    style = ""
    tabWidth = ""

```

Thank you sir, that works like a charm. Opened a issue in chroma for the support I would like to have and then I can switch back easily.
