Markdown code block color highlighting

[vysecurity]

Hi there,

Any way to highlight certain parts of a code block in markdown with a different color? For example:

GET /?request=abc HTTP1/.1
XXXXX

I want to highlight request=abc. I tried things like asterisk, and backticks.

It helps to be able to point out the payload in a request.

Yes. See https://docs.sysreptor.com/reporting/markdown-features/#code-blocks

```http highlight-manual
POST /login.php HTTP/1.1
Host: sqli.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 33

§§username='or'1'='1§§&password=dummy
```

I read the docs, thanks.

I just realised, how can I specify the highlight-manual color specifications so it highlights it in a different color in css?

I tried:

#highlight-manual {
    color: #333;
}

but it had failed.

You can add CSS rules for the HTML <mark> tag

mark {
    background-color: red;
}

Works wonders! Thankyou.
