Version 9.0.0
The new major version brings a reworked styling system. Highlight.js now defines
a limited set of highlightable classes giving a consistent result across all the
styles and languages. You can read a more detailed explanation and background in
the tracking issue that started this long process back in May.
This change is backwards incompatible for those who uses highlight.js with a
custom stylesheet. The new style guide explains how to write styles
in this new world.
Bundled themes have also suffered a significant amount of improvements and may
look different in places, but all the things now consistent and make more sense.
Among others, the Default style has got a refresh and will probably be tweaked
some more in next releases. Please do give your feedback in our
issue tracker.
New languages in this release:
