Better Lua Highlighting

[Stanzilla]

This is probably a highlight.js issue but if you have any pointers on how to properly request it over there, it would help as well. Currently Lua does not very highlighting at all, as an example:

could at least look like this

but considering highlightjs/highlight.js#1678 is there an alternative maybe?

The Lua syntax definition is there and can be improved upon. highlight.js does currently have a maintainer but there are simply too many languages for the core team to be able to manage, which is why most language improvements come from the community.

There's an issue template for "Incorrect syntax highlighting" that you can pick to show an example of the lack of highlights. You'll likely just be invited to contribute them yourself via PRs or find someone who'd be interested in maintaining it 😅

Exactly what I was fearing haha, should I close the issue then?

Definitely create the issue over at highlight.js repo so it gets exposure and awareness. But yea, unfortunately not much we can do in this repo can do about this.
