SlickEdit® / Adding markdown languages to align with standards
« Last post by spongyryno on February 08, 2026, 08:04:48 PM »SlickEdit will show me the correct color coding for CMD/BAT script code inside markdown if I call it "Batch":
However, GitHub, VSCode, and other markdown viewers don't honor this.
Similarly, GitHub, VSCode, and other markdown viewers all support "CMD" and "BAT", but SlickEdit does not:
Is there any way I can configure SlickEdit to treat "CMD" or "BAT" the same as "Batch"?
Code: [Select]
# This is a markdown title
Works in SlickEdit, but not GitHub, VSCode, etc.:
```Batch
REM this is a comment
echo "Hello World %USERNAME%"
```
