[jira] [Commented] (DOXIA-571) Markdown does not support syntax highlighting any more

["Richard Körber (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16376085#comment-16376085 ] 

Richard Körber commented on DOXIA-571:
--------------------------------------

Digging a little deeper into this issue, I have found out that the actual syntax highlighting is done by the maven-fluido-skin. It uses prettify.js, which prettifies all HTML blocks having a "prettyprint" class (e.g. <pre class="prettyprint">).

Flexmark uses a "source" class for code blocks instead (e.g. <pre class="source">).

Now I'm not sure if this is a doxia-module-markdown or maven-fluido-skin bug.

>             Project: Maven Doxia
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Module - Markdown
>    Affects Versions: 1.8
>            Reporter: Richard Körber
>            Priority: Minor

> Starting with version 1.8, doxia-module-markdown changed from Pegdown to Flexmark.
> However it seems that Flexmark does not support syntax highlighting.
> Example:
> {noformat}
> ```java
> System.out.println("Hello World!");
> ```
> {noformat}
> doxia-module-markdown < 1.8 applied Java syntax highlighting here. doxia-module-markdown 1.8 does not. As doxia-module-markdown is used mostly for technical documentation in maven, I think this is a major regression.
> Possible workaround: Use doxia-module-markdown 1.7.
