Great! Will this recognize logs as “code”? If not consider this a feature request. How do you identify an extract from a log-file? I guess it would suffice to look for a date/time at the beginning of two consecutive lines. Another question: will ir work when people are using quote-formating (>) instead of code fences?

[image] tophee: Will this recognize logs as “code”? It will recognize logs as code if they happen to “look like” code (i.e. contain any of the patterns that would flag a post as containing code). You can test it out on your content at the demo link. [image] tophee: look for a date/time at the beginning of two consecutive lines There are lots of ways to format a datetime, and not all log formats start each line with a datetime in any case. I guess detecting full ISO8601 representations (1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 etc.) would work, as these are very unlikely to appear outside of code or logs. [image] tophee: will ir work when people are using quote-formating (>) instead of code fences? Anything in code blocks (fenced or indented) is ignored. Quoted blocks don’t receive any special treatment. Quoted blocks aren’t a correct way to format code, and may lead to unexpected results. Example: the string Block quoted (gets parsed away into oblivion): Code fences (displays as intended):
