No, I was attempting to abuse the code fences to do prettier formatting for a set of Nomic rules. While I don’t mind using vim to do the indentation, I’m more concerned with making it easier for my users to do the pretty formatting, or they won’t bother.
My poor reasons for using the text language specification are irrelevant, though. Text should definitely not render as applescript, which I’m sure you agree with. Still familiarizing myself with the way discourse does highlighting so I can fix it myself, since I’m probably the first person to be bothered by it.
