Gutenberg Beta - Global language setting does not appear to be inherited.

[Wolf-Byte]

Firstly I would like to say great work on the plugin guys 👍. I know this is a low priority issue in the grand scheme of things but I thought I would raise it on the off chance you are not aware of it.

When using the Gutenberg Beta (Version 3.8-BETA1) the default language does not appear to be inherited.

Replication steps:

1. Within global settings set the default language to CSS
2. Create a new block within a blog post
3. The language will appear as 'Generic Highlighting' under appearance.

Like I say this is no biggie and it can easily be worked around in the meantime by manually selecting the language.

Hi @Wolf-Byte ,

thanks for your feedback. currently this behaviour is intended by design: it is projected to remove the "default language" setting from the plugin page because its not really needed - in the past it sets the "default" highlighting language in case no language attribute was set. Currently every component (TinyMCE/Gutenberg/Quicktags/Shortcode) sets this attribute explicitly.

btw. EnlighterJS.Gutenberg has its own repository :+1:

best regards, Andi

update: the "default language" setting has been removed in Enlighter v4 - the language parameter has to be set explicitly for each codeblock.

you can change the "default list value" by altering the global language list via the filter enlighter_languages
