Research direction

Start with the security-related example in the README and reproduce the report with rehypeSanitize passed through rehypePlugins. Compare code highlighting with and without rehypePlugins; done means sanitization remains enabled while highlighted code still renders correctly.

Description

Like the security-related example you presented,
if I pass rehypeSanitize to rehypePlugins, the code highlight does not work.
Is this intended? If I remove rehypePlugins, code highlight works normally.
