Now, I found some lexing errors, where should I send the feedbacks?

My fork maybe? Issues · fredrikekre/highlight.js · GitHub

Is it me or recently the GitHub’s rendering of code is not right?

Yes.

Update: The fix is deployed now. Repos with broken highlighting need a commit to invalidate their cache.

the current version of highlight.js does not reproduce the visual of your blog post anymore @fredrikekre , not sure what happened.

Upstream highlight.js does not containt the changes (yet). I hope to do it eventually, but it is pretty easy to compile your own js file based on my branch (see links here).

I too want to see Chroma updated, so I went the longer route and have made a PR to pygments which replicates many of the ideas shown here (since I actually do know python). Since chroma advertises an auto-convert of rules from pygments, I’m hoping to just leverage that if/when the pygments PR is merged (and then need to get hugo to use a new version of chroma…)

I’ve gotten updated Julia syntax rules merged into both pygments and chroma, so presumably Hugo websites will soon have much better Julia syntax highlighting.

Hi all,

If I want to change the style of say, Julia comments when using hightlight.js, with CSS, I wonder what is the correct way to do it.

For python and javascript, the following works for me, but it doesn’t change the style for Julia comments.

.hljs-comment, .hljs-quote { color: green !important; font-style: italic !important; }

I also commented my question in https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/issues/2832, but realized this may be a better place to ask.
