Syntax Highlight In Markdown Code Block

Syntax Highlight In Markdown Fenced Code Blocks

The Markdown syntax allows you to create code blocks by using three backticks (```) or three tildes (~~~) on the lines before and after the code block.

To add syntax highlighting, specify a language next to the backticks before the fenced code block.

In GFM (Github Flavor Markdown), syntax highlight language support are provide by Linguist. 

Here are some of syntax highlight language (light-weight markup language for documentation, programming language, database management system language, style-sheet, text to diagram, structured data parsing, document preparation system for the typesetting):

AsciiDoc, C, C#, C++, CSS, Go, HTML, Java, Javascript, Markdown, Mermaid, Objective-C, Pascal, PHP, PlantUML, Python, reStructuredText, R, Ruby, Shell, SQL, Swift, TeX, VBScript, XML, YAML.

EXAMPLE

• AsciiDoc Syntax Highlight In Markdown Fenced Code Blocks
  type this following markdown code in your markdown editor:

  trailing with *hard line break* ( space bar and plus sign ).

  Heading 1
  ========
  A paragraph is defined by one or more consecutive lines of text.  +
  
  trailing with *hard line break* ( space bar and plus sign ).
  
  

• C Syntax Highlight In Markdown Fenced Code Blocks
  type this following markdown code in your markdown editor:
  
  ```c
  /* Hello World in C */
  
  
  #include <stdio.h>
  
  
  int main(void)
  {
    puts("Hello World!");
    return 0;
  }
  ```
  

  Result

  
  /* Hello World in C */
  
  #include <stdio.h>
  
  int main(void)
  {
    puts("Hello World!");
    return 0;
