> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-11950
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11950
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: groovy-groovydoc
> Reporter: Paul King
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.0.0-alpha-1
>
>
> Doc comments frequently use plain {{<pre>...</pre>}} blocks for code examples. Prism's highlighter only walks {{<code>}} descendants of language-classed elements, so these legacy blocks are skipped even when {{-syntaxHighlighter=prism}} is on.
> Introduce a new {{-preLanguage}} option (CLI) / {{preLanguage}} attribute (Ant task) that post-processes the generated HTML:
> - A bare {{<pre>body</pre>}} is rewritten to {{<pre class="language-xxx"><code>body</code></pre>}}, using the configured language id.
> - A {{<pre class="language-xxx">}} that lacks an inner {{<code>}} has its body wrapped in {{<code>}}.
> - {{<pre>}} tags with any existing attribute (e.g. {{class="groovyTestCase"}}, author-chosen {{class="language-sql"}}, {{id="..."}}) are left untouched.
> Opt-in; no effect when unset. Complements {{-syntaxHighlighter}} rather than replacing it.
