Feature Request: Syntax highlighting #14

Closed bertiewils closed 3 years ago

bertiewils commented 3 years ago

It would be nice to have syntax highlighting for code when viewing a snippet.

Something like https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js could work.

The language field could stay an input field, with some logic to see if the entered language = one of the supported aliases.

You could then have a line below the language field, something like:

Syntax highlighting provided by highlight.js. See the supported languages for valid options.

The alternative would be to make the language field a dropdown of supported languages, now that there are tags separately.

Thank you for a great project!
