ReSpec: highlighter and news

[m***@marcosc.com]

Hi ReSpec users,
We are super excited to announce an update to ReSpec's syntax highlighter - coming in the next day or so. We are ditching the old google prettify and moving to "hljs" [1]. This is exciting because it brings support for ES2016 syntax, performance improvements, smart language detection, and ongoing updates.

How does this impact you?

* pre elements will be highlighted by default (yay!). You can opt out totally by setting "noHighlightCSS: true," in your ReSpec config - or give an individual pre a "nohighlight" class.

* having a "highlight" class is now deprecated (it will generate a warning).

Other cool things we are releasing:

* we've upgraded our markdown support: you can now use ``` to denote a code block, just like on GitHub.

* beatification of output. When you export (X)HTML for publication, ReSpec will try to beautify the generated code a bit for you (section tags will be nested, etc.).

We hope ❤️ like the updates! Any issues, please let us know.

Marcos,

Thanks for all your hard work on this! (For the record, while I am on the
'team' I did basically none of this.)

As we move ahead, I wonder how people would feel about harmonizing the
styles for things like example, issue, and webidl markup between ReSpec and
bikeshed. I think this would help solidify the brand. I also think it
would help if we just pushed those styles into the W3C base styles (at
least when ReSpec is in W3C mode).

I like that this is being 'beatified' - I had no idea you had a connection
to the Pope!

Thanks for the effort, sounds really good!

Where might I find out more about how much Markdown support is currently available? I didn't see anything about it in the User's Guide or Reference docs...

I added an issue about this Travis:
https://github.com/w3c/respec-docs/issues/45

The short answer is that there is support for markdown in general. Do you
mean which dialect(s)?
