The only time I've had the syntax highlighting show since the Khoros forum was launched is when composing a post. Once it's posted, I've only ever seen black text.

Which is unfortunate, given the weight of loading the syntax highlighting javascript for every page. 😞

Yes, @Amebr, that's correct. Once the submit button is clicked, all code styles vanish for some mysterious reason that's never been fully explained. This forum platform is leased from a 3rd party; not made by Adobe. Since there are other more pressing issues, I guess code formatting is not a big priority.

Nancy, but it would be really worth to put the weight of Adobe on that Khoros team: Discussing scripting issues etc. IMHO require an adeaquate presentation of the code. And since the highlighting is there while editing, why the heck do they wipe out it on submit?

This forum platform (Khoros) has NEVER had code syntax highlighting. All code styles are wiped on submit. It has been that way ever since Khoros launched.

This is absolutely not true!

The effect appears about since mid January 2021. Before that syntax highlighting was present in submitted posts.

Unfortunately I do not have any pdf to prove.

Why then should we waste our time in editing selecting a pgm-language tu influence the syntax highlighting?

I'm sorry but I must respectfully disagree. This platform has NEVER supported syntax highlighting on submit, at least not from any of my desktop browsers and not with any code that I've inserted from the </> icon including HTML, CSS, XML/SVG, JavaScript, PHP, etc...

If you did see syntax highlighting, perhaps it came from another source -- a screenshot, code pen or js fiddle.
