MS Teams not supporting Julia syntax highlighting

In MS Teams you can insert code snippets, but you cannot select Julia as language.

Any idea where to complain about it?

I have no idea where you can complain.

As an alternative, you may want to use https://carbon.now.sh/ where you paste your code snippet and get a beatiful image of the code to share as an image.

This might be the right place (link from this tweet from @MicrosoftTeams)

I believe to remember that there already was an open “issue” for adding Julia syntax highlighting where I just clicked on +1. Can’t find it though…

It doesn’t seem to know how to do Julia code particularly well though. It treats everything as a variable, even functions. At least that’s what happens on my end.

This link worked for me: Community

Would be nice if more Teams Julia users could vote for this issue…

Upvoted there but whoever requests this feature starts with: While the Julia language is generally not very popular…

It seems that as of January 1, 2022, Julia has been downloaded 35 million times.

urgh… if someone sends me code as an image I shout at him/her for a week…
If MSTeams accepts HTML, you could use one of the many online syntax highlithers and copy/pasting the output…
