Sneak preview: If you can’t wait, either, to finally use the Custom Highlight API for simpler syntax highlighting, try syntaxp! It’s similar to Prism and highlight.js but intentionally keeps some things very simple: github.com/j9t/syntaxp #css #syntaxhighlighting #simplicity #prism #highlightjs
syntaxp in action on meiert.com, syntax-highlighting an HTML snippet.

69% of “State of HTML” survey participants agree that “ensuring my HTML code passes validation is important,” with 12% disagreeing.
