It’s called: Syntax-highlighting Code Block (with Server-side Rendering)
Weston Ruter really got it right:
<span>s and whatnot are part of the content, so wherever it syndicates can benefit from the highlighting if the proper CSS is in place. Looks great in Feedbin.<mark> elements.I once built a custom code block plugin that was largely based around this idea, and it worked pretty well, but it still relied on client-side JavaScript and it was a custom block. The one thing it did better was that it displayed the syntax highlighted code in the admin where this doesn’t. But I much prefer this approach and how with-the-grain of WordPress it is.
That’s actually Go, but good guess really.
