Markdown Syntax Highlight - Non default language

support
1

Hi,

I’ve seen that Github allows certain and non conventional syntax highlighting with markdown.

I’d like to know, excluding the possibility of using html, is it possible to set a file where I can define a syntax highlighting language (Solidity or Vyper) which is not set by default?

TL, DR: By default I can highlight a Javascript or a Python code block… is this possible with something like Solidity?

Have you tried the built-in syntax highlighting provided by Chroma?

This is the current list supported by Hugo:

I think the above is up to date.

Are there any official instructions to use/install Chroma?

Chroma is a part of Hugo.

(Here you can find a list of all the dependencies.)

@omrllm Adding this to your config.toml will get you started:

pygmentsCodefences = true
pygmentsCodefencesGuessSyntax = true
pygmentsStyle = "pygments"

Here, "pygments" is just the name of the Chroma style to be used. Checkout the Chroma style gallery and choose the style you like.

Alright, now it works.

Thank you very much!
