Why doesn't code retain color hints when posted?

[rcraighead]

When I post code I use the </> option, but the helpful color hints disappear once posted. Why?

const aiApp = Application('Adobe Illustrator')
aiApp.includeStandardAdditions = true
const doc = aiApp.documents[0]
aiApp.activate()
newEllipse = doc.layer[0].Ellipse({
    left: 100,
    top: -100,
    width: 400,
    height: 200,
    reversed: false,
    inscribed: true
})
newEllipse.make()

This is how it looks before posting:

Since day #1, code syntax highlighting has never worked right on this Khoros platform.  It is what it is... sigh 😞
