Hhmm 🤔

So they have that [gist snippet there](https://gist.github.com/choxi/6fa98f7b203bf2dfdcfa), what they’re suggesting is that people implement that _outside_ the highlighter (in that case, it’s `marked.js`, I guess the same could be done with `highlight.js`).

Do you think Discourse could do that? Or, previous question, does this make sense in terms of architecture?

I guess the general idea is just to do some find-and-replace, remove the diff marks, send it to the syntax highlighter, and then work on it with some more find-and-replace afterwards. It sounds very awkward but the truth is that the snippet isn’t _that_ complicated at all.
