What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.

Track my coding progress on GitHub with a .NET Worker Service
As I later found out, GitHub uses the Linguist library to measure the amount of lines written in a specific language... which is still pretty magic ๐ช.

My OpenSource Blog that You Can Use Right Now
For Code highlighting, I am using Prism.js. First I am loading the styles file inside the _app.tsx file and inside the CodeBlock component, I am loading the styling that gives us beautiful syntax highlights.

Build a simple code editor
Luckily, implementing syntax highlighting in our simple code editor is easy with the use of external libraries. There are several JavaScript libraries available, such as Prism and Highlight.js. For our editor, we'll use Prism since it's easy to use and supports a wide range of programming languages.

GDScript (Godot) syntax highlighting in Obsidian?
Hey all, I've been taking notes as I learn Godot engine, using the Editor Syntax Highlight plugin, but it doesn't show highlighting in edit mode unlike how it does for other languages. I read on a forum somewhere that this plugin/Obsidian uses [PrismJS](https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/issues) for syntax highlighting, which has gdscript on its list of supported languages, yet it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Sveltekit prismjs
I have a problem with using PrismJS with SvelteKit. I can get the basic languages to work like javascript, but I can't load additional ones using the loadLanguages function, because of the Vite (or at least I think that is the problem). Is there any way to load additional languages highlighting? I am also using tailwind css and flowbite-svelte.
