Codeblock syntax highlighting

[ghost]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's kind of annoying when somebody posts code in a codeblock and there's no syntax highlighting.

Element:

Cinny:

Github:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("hello world")
}

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement some type of syntax highlighting for codeblocks.

Additional context

I've heard highlight.js is popular https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/

highlight.js is really bloated and just overall awful to use. Prism is a much better choice. I already made an implementation a while ago using Prism, but did not know which colors to go for (keywords, strings, etc.).

I mean, anything is better than nothing. It can always be changed later if it's ugly

We can use css variable for color? Which will be good to change code colors based on theme.

Someone made a Prism theme with CSS variables here, https://github.com/antfu/prism-theme-vars
