Description

For example Java doesn't show up for autocompletion, and C or C++ don't seem to work at all. Personally, I'd also love to see Haxe, which highlight.js does support.

Would it be possible for people hosting their own hackmd instances to download or link their own highlight.js packages?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the current highlight.js configuration in the codebase, identify how languages are bundled, and explore options to add missing languages or allow custom highlight.js packages via configuration.
