Jan, It seems like you might already know of highlight.js: https://highlightjs.org/ <https://highlightjs.org/>
I understand that this may not seem to address use case #2, but since highlight.js supports node.js, you can probably use it in your build scripts (instead of in the browser). Note also that some Markdown flavors, such as Github Flavored Markdown and the sort-of fork CommonMark, have syntaxes for explicitly declaring which kind of code you’ve embedded into your document: https://jgm.github.io/stmd/spec.html#info-string <https://jgm.github.io/stmd/spec.html#info-string> It looks like this: ```css * { font-family: "jokewood" !important; } ``` You can compare various flavors’ output of this code, here: http://ajh.us/babelmark2-fenced-code-with-info-string > On Sep 23, 2014, at 5:43 AM, Jan Erik Moström <li...@mostrom.pp.se> wrote: > > I'm using a script to convert a set of markdown files to static web > sites - sites for various courses I'm teaching.
