In a Discourse forum for techies discussing code in a specific language I’d like to be able to highlight something in a code block. For example the O/P posts some, broken, code and I fix it up. The user has to carefully read my improved code to see what I have changed, and putting a comment in the code like: xxx = yyy <— I MADE A CHANGE HERE is a bit lame!, particularly on a complex line. I suppose, ideally, it would just be a background colour to highlight a section, but if it was possible to put some sort of [color=red] or similar tags into the code that would provide more facilities to people which more artistically then me!

What about diff? diff --git a/pynote/formatting.py b/pynote/formatting.py index f0d7d53..eda1906 100644 --- a/pynote/formatting.py +++ b/pynote/formatting.py @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ import click -from pynote import config +from . import config def echo(text, no_pager=False):

This is something I am looking for but can you tell me how you did this? That is, how do you format in the editor to get this to display?

Can I highlight some text in a fenced code block?
