Syntax highlighting in descriptions and comments
Adam Coster
Sharing code snippets in tasks is super useful, and having syntax highlighting in code blocks makes it much more useful.
Currently when adding a code block in a description via Markdown (or the button) there is no way to specify the language and get syntax highlighting.
Being able to use the standard Markdown approach of fully typing out ```js (for example) before the raw Markdown disappears, and then applying syntax highlighting accordingly, would be stellar. Alternatively, you could take the Notion.so approach and provide a language dropdown selector inside the GUI object that wraps the code block.
See GitHub's docs for the commonly-used syntax: https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks
(We're wanting to move a lot of our stuff from GitHub, and like to share code snippets with each other, but the absence of full Markdown support in Favro is a bummer.)
