How to code highlight yaml?

[vekexasia]

Hello I cant find a way to get yaml highlighted in my documentation.

i have a snippet like:

```yaml
esphome:
  name: sample-esp32
  friendly_name: sample-esp32
  platformio_options:
    board_build.flash_mode: dio

and mkdocs.yml containing:

theme:
  palette:
    primary: deep purple
  name: material
  features:
    - content.code.annotate
    - content.code.copy
    - pymdownx.highlight:
        use_pygments: true
    - pymdownx.superfences

it seems no highlighting is present

Hello @vekexasia,
those are not features of the theme:

    - pymdownx.highlight:
        use_pygments: true
    - pymdownx.superfences

read the docs again, you need to put them in markdown_extensions:

markdown_extensions:
  - pymdownx.highlight:
      anchor_linenums: true
  - pymdownx.superfences

https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#markdown_extensions
