Shiki syntax highlight support

Feature request

Problem or desire

Prism syntax highlight is quite bad (highlight.js is bad too).

Proposal

Support Shiki.

Shiki has better syntax highlight because it uses TextMate grammar instead of shady regexp. It uses the same engine as in VS Code.

Implementation

I guess the only thing to do on doscify side, is to add a config option that allows to generate a different highlighter class prefix. That way all JS syntax highlighter could nearly be supported.

  • shiki: css class shiki
  • prism: css class language- prefix
  • highlightjs: css class hljs
