Question

Body

The list of supported languages includes luau but it does not seem to work, while lua does. Ideas, please?

Hi @JanetRossini, we're happy you're here! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are explicit about what your project entails, giving a few more details might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction.

The language list for highlighting includes both Lua and Luau. I can provide a link if needed.

This markdown will be highlighted:

~~~lua
local test_correct
~~~

With "local" in some suitable greenish color.

This markdown will not be highlighted at all:

~~~luau
local test_correct
~~~

I am wondering what is up with that.

[JanetRossini]

OK that's weird, it gets highlighted here and is not highlighted on janetrossini.github.io. Now I am really confused.

local test_correct_luau

local test_correct_lua

???
