I was also gonna mention Shiki. While it is JS, you can SSR/SSG, and:

- it uses VSCode grammars and themes, which is awesome.

- it’s got some really cool extensions like Shiki Twoslash[1], allowing VSCode-like type hovers and type error demos. I’ve heard this can work without client-side JS but haven’t had the opportunity to check that out just yet.

- with some effort, you can extract the inline styles to a stylesheet and support pure CSS dark mode (note to self: clean up and open source my implementation of this).

Please do!

I’ll try to get that out this weekend, now that I know there’s interest!
Ooo nice one. Cool features I noticed:

- VSCode theme support

- Textmate grammar tokenizing

- Multiple targets (SVG/PDF)

- Annotations
