VBA (and I think VB.net?) should work like this though -- single-quote
comments, double-quote strings.  It seems to work on the highlight.js demo
page https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/

```vba

' mary george and mimi are people
Dim mary As Person, george As Person, mimi As Person

Set mary = New Person

mary.initialize("Mary White", "1960/11/28")  ' Mary was born in 1960

```
Doesn't work in the TW link you posted, Jeremy.
