I believe there to be a bug or two in whatever version of highlight.js is being used in Discourse now.
See my test topic at Meta where the curly braces do not line up properly (under certain scenarios).
[http://try.discourse.org/t/testing-code-tags/1227](http://try.discourse.org/t/testing-code-tags/1227)
What is the best approach for looking at getting this resolved?

Can you test if this is still an issue in 8.5 [https://highlightjs.org/](https://highlightjs.org/) we want to upgrade anyway.

It is just a matter of replacing highlight.js in the lib/highlight\_js/assets folder with the updated version right? If so, I’ll get it tested here shortly to see if it makes a difference.

I had a rake task for this. have a search for it in the source tree.

Yeah, I found it. I’m trying to get it running 😄
(getting a lot of errors in the npm downloads, so I’ve got to track that down)

Hmm.. struggling to get this resolved (and there are a lot more further down still too)

I did that.. via gem install, I’m out of the office now so I’ll have to try again tomorrow.

If you did `gem install node`, I’m afraid you got pranked. 😁
Try `sudo apt-get install nodejs npm` instead.

Okay, I know I did npm at work. Not sure why I though gem install node, but I swear that is what I did… I might not have though.

Latest versions of node.js on Gentoo are 0.10.30 for `amd64` and 0.12.2-r1 for `~amd64` – perhaps you need a newer version and Debian is trailing too far behind again?

Well, that’s the confusing part. As the VM is Ubuntu… so I know it is Debian based, but it is using Ubuntu repos which is suggested as the distro to use for Discourse, right?
I feel like I’m missing something obvious here. I’ll dig around and see if I can find a more up to date repo for node… not sure if that would solve my problem or not though.

Try pulling latest, I just updated
```plaintext
public function checkCredentials($username, $password)
{
// ...
$userDetails = $userQuery->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$isVerified = password_verify($password, $userDetails['password']);
if ($isVerified) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['currentUser'] = $userDetails;
}
return $isVerified;
}
```
Seems to be working fine.

Hmm…
```plaintext

$isVerified = password_verify($password, $userDetails['password']);
if ($isVerified) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['currentUser'] = $userDetails;
}
return $isVerified;
}
```
Okay, what gives? (re-edit after hard refresh)

This bug has nothing to do with highlight js, our markdown parse is being insane. recategorizing as bug. (add newline here and indenting will be correct)

Thank you. I was starting to wonder that myself and I started in highlight.js as it seemed the obvious choice. It is also why I spent a lot of time trying to update highlight.js within Discourse so I could ensure I test it in relation to Discourse.
