Boostnote syntax highlighting query

[4e696e6a6121]

Current behavior

I am not able to syntax highlight code that I type within a code fence. I understand that PowerShell is supported as a language that can be syntax highlighted. However, I am unable to find any reference article that explains what tagging I am supposed to be using to enable this feature.

If I code fence a bash line then it seems to work as below:

`

g++ -O -Wall input.C -o executable

`
If I try with PowerShell like below:

`

Connect-ExchangeOnline

`

Then it is just displays as plain text. The fact that I am using the "ps1" tag is a pure guess as I cannot seem to find a reference
of tags that I am suppose to be using for any particular language that I may want syntax highlighting enabled within a code fence.
I have tried "Powershell" and "PS" but to no avail.

I found a web link that seems to explain language selection:

https://medium.com/boostnote/how-to-set-syntax-highlight-in-snippet-note-1cf3f6eb7fe4
https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/wiki/Syntax-Highlighting

But I cannot seem to find the pull out menu of all the languages as described within the screenshot.

Expected behavior

I would expect a list of tags/languages to be available within the application which would allow me to syntax highlight the code within it's code fence.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open BoostNote application
2. Create a new note from File --> New Note
3. Type code as in the screenshot below:
   

Environment

Hi,

The list of modes can be found here: https://codemirror.net/mode/

As the editor is code mirror, I agree it would be good to include this link or list of available modes in general within app or in tutorial section, I'll see what I can do with that.

Hi @Komediruzecki ,

The link works a treat! 👍 I am new to this platform so would you like me to close this issue if you have this improvement recorded anywhere else or should I wait for your confirmation?

Many thanks,

Hi,

No problem,

I'll close it and add this to documentation soon.
