Perhaps you teach a computer programming language and you want your code formatted and highlighted like your favorite text editor does for you. We now have a few HTML templates available to provide syntax highlighting for your documents in Brightspace for languages such as: SQL, Python, Java, Javascript, CSS, and more. The templates use highlight.js and there multiple themes available if you want a dark theme or really like how Android Studio looks.
