Language Mappings

This document contains a list of mappings for language identifiers for highlight.js, which is mostly used in Markdown parsers, and ace, which is applied by LiaScript. Since both projects do not contain all languages and the names of the language identifiers might vary, we provide a mapping.

All language identifiers and alias marked as code can be used within LiaScript code-blocks. If you want to apply another language not yet supported, then plaintext will be used as a default.

This mapping is applied by LiaScript at:

https://github.com/LiaScript/LiaScript/blob/development/src/typescript/webcomponents/editor-modes.ts

... and will be updated in accordance with this document. Feel free to make comments/issues or to add other mappings.
