Color that can highlight errors or similar I do see you have several languages and I see a in the link of supported a “log” one but It does not high light anything? Is there a way to get this to work? its almost perfect! I really like this but I cant make it work any tips or ideas?

I do see other languages that

Things I have tried

Hi, and welcome .

As noted here: https://help.obsidian.md/syntax#Code+blocks

It looks like the log language doesn’t show any highlights in the editor:

Live Preview | Reading view

I suggest having a look at the community GitHub - mProjectsCode/obsidian-shiki-plugin

This plugin works in reading, live preview and edit mode, providing a consistent experience across the app.
