Highlight.js v4.2 Release Notes
-
The biggest news is highlighting for Lisp, courtesy of Vasily Polovnyov. It's somewhat experimental meaning that for highlighting "keywords" it doesn't use any pre-defined set of a Lisp dialect. Instead it tries to highlight first word in parentheses wherever it makes sense. I'd like to ask people programming in Lisp to confirm if it's a good idea and send feedback to the forum.
