Support for Solidity code snippets in Markdown

[PaulRBerg]

See context on Twitter: Is there any VSCode extension that can enable syntax highlighting for Solidity code blocks in Markdown?

It appears that Juan Blanco's extension offers support for Solidity code snippets in Markdown.

This seems to be done with an injection grammar: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide#injection-grammars

We should see if there are any guidelines for the standard markdown extension.

Hey @kanej & @PaulRBerg just made a PR for this issue https://github.com/NomicFoundation/hardhat-vscode/pull/575

[kanej]

Released as part of v0.8.4

I am using v0.8.6, and I'm still not able to see highlighted Solidity code.

Thanks for the report, this is a bug in our release scripts (the extra syntax file wasn't being copied). I have put together a fix and will ping here when it goes out in the next release (likely Monday).

@PaulRBerg, that is v0.8.7 released with the build script changes, you should be able to see Solidity highlighting in Markdown files:
