Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/1007

Current behavior

All code blocks display as white text, regardless of which code block theme is chosen.

Expected behavior

The code should have the syntax highlighting shown in the settings.

Steps to reproduce

Go to Settings.
In Markdown, change the code block theme. (I used "Dracula".)
Click on your space in the upper left-hand corner.
Open a note that contains some code.

Environment

Desktop

Boost Note.next v0.18
Garuda Linux (using Linux 5.10.43-1-lts)

Hi, polsvoice,

It seems to work for me, can you please share the markdown content you are using to create the above screenshot? I will be able to pinpoint general issues in that case.

Maybe you idented it incorrectly or are using wrong tag for the language to highlight?
If you don't put a language to higlight it will probably look like the above screenshot, can you try this markdown:

```c

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void){
    int c = 0;
    
    for(int k = 0; k < 5; k++){
	printf("Hello world %d\n", c);
    }
    
    // This works pretty much awesome
}	
```

For 'Dracula' the rendering should be like this:

That works! I didn't realize that I needed to specify the language in the Markdown (since that wasn't required in the old Boostnote). Is there documentation of all of the supported languages? I couldn't find any.

Hi,

glad to hear that, the application uses codemirror for code editor so this list should be supported: https://codemirror.net/mode/

I'll close this issue, please reopen if needed.
