Research direction

Look for the syntax highlighting configuration or language definitions in the app's codebase, likely in a frontend or markdown parsing module. Identify where allowed languages for code blocks are defined and add 'csharp' and 'xml' to the list. Test the change by running the app locally and verifying that code blocks with these language tags are properly highlighted.

Description

I love the new code blocks "```". However the allowed languages seems sparse. Can we at least get C# and XML?
