CommonMark.NET for Markdown parsing and HihlightJS for syntax highlighting

All posts are going to be written in markdown that then gets parsed, syntax highlighted and converted to HTML.

The Markdown to HTML parsing is using the CommonMark.NET library with some custom formatting for code blocks to have syntax highlighting.

The custom syntax highlighter is the HighlightJS library that is being invoked via JavaScript Interop.
