Fortran keywords are highlighed in a regular preformatted code block

Given these FORD documentation lines in my program that shows preformatted text:

!! This text is part of my FORD docs.
!!
!!     This is just a regular preformatted code block. It actually highlights
!!     words like if and end even when I don't need them highlighted.
!!
!! The above is preformatted text, and this line is regular.

As you can see, FORD colors the words if, and, and end. It seems like FORD is trying to apply Fortran highlighting to this preformatted block that isn't actually Fortran code. Is this a bug?

I expected that FORD would not apply any highlighting to regular preformatted code blocks, and only apply Fortran highlighting when using the fenced code block syntax (i.e., ```fortran)

This is actually a feature of the highlighter we use, codehilite, which attempts to guess the language for highlighting. You can control it by either using the triple-backticks format, or triple-colons:

  !! Simple Fortran program to demonstrate the usage of FORD and to test its installation
  !!
  !!     :::C
  !!     struct {
  !!         int x;
  !!     };

will highlight the block as C

Ah, gotcha. So I guess I need to specify a "none" language so no highlighting is done. I wonder if codehilite lets you do that. Something like

```none
This is just preformatted text without any highlighting
```

but I don't see anything like "none" in the list of languages https://pygments.org/languages/

Yup, you want text
