Syntax highlighting

[DirtyF]

Syntax highlighting is working fine on our demo: https://hugo-novela-forestry.netlify.app/post/2019-04-31-understanding-the-gatsby-lifecycle/

This theme is using Prism to highlight code.

@DirtyF That is strange :( Does it require me to set any flags in my yaml file? Do I have to do anything special in the post? I can't find the code for the page you linked in the exampleSite folder.

You don't need to, as it's using a JS library and not Hugo options.
You need to add triple fenced codeblock with the name of the language you want to highlight:

@DirtyF So I copy pasted the code from this example and this works fine. But when I change the programming language to java it doesn't. That's the language I was using it with. Seems to be a problem with that. You can try it with this code

ArrayMap<String, String> arrayMap = new ArrayMap<String, String>();
arrayMap.put("key", "value");
String value = arrayMap.get("key");

Seems like only the languages listed in this comment are currently working -

@vinaygaba Thanks for the feedback, adding those files in your repository to customize what prism version you need seems the best way to go here.

Seems reasonable! Thanks!
