feat(highlight): highlight inline code both with Shiki and Rangi - #406
Conversation
Inline code that declares a language with `{lang="ts"}` rendered unhighlighted,
because the walk only collected `<pre><code>`. It now collects inline `<code>`
in the same pass, reading `lang` first and `language` second.
Adds grammar contexts, so a fragment can seed the grammar before it is
tokenized. `ts-type` and `vue-html` ship by default, mirroring the `@nuxtjs/mdc`
conventions. Without the `let a:` seed, `Ref<HTMLInputElement | null>` tokenizes
as an expression and the type names fall through to plain text. Add or override
with `grammarContexts`, or set an entry to `false` to drop a built-in.
Inline code naming a grammar that is not registered is left exactly as written,
with no class and no spans, because `lang` is a real HTML attribute for natural
language. A fence still falls back to an unhighlighted `.shiki` block, since a
`<pre>` is unambiguously code.
Inline output is flat spans with no line wrapper, and `transformers` and
`preStyles` stay block-only.
Also stops the ` . ` class sentinel leaking into rendered HTML. It is a
markdown-stringify encoding, but `htmlAttributes` emitted it verbatim, so a
highlighted `<pre>` with a user class rendered a bogus `.` class token.

149-152: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winCapture the pre-transform nodes before testing identity.
The Shiki transform copies only the paths to highlighted nodes so untouched siblings retain their references. The current assertions compare each node with the same post-transform slot, so they pass even when the transform clones siblings. Capture the nodes in a post hook that runs before
shiki, then compare those references with the transformed result. This protects the structural-sharing contract used to limit re-rendering.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Prefer a registered inline language over a built-in context.
When a caller registers a grammar as ts-type, GRAMMAR_CONTEXTS still maps the authored name to typescript. The guard at line 528 then checks for typescript, so inline code remains unhighlighted when only the registered ts-type grammar is loaded. A registered grammar must take precedence over the built-in context.
Proposed fix
- const context = GRAMMAR_CONTEXTS.get(written)
+ const context = loadedLangs.has(written) ? undefined : GRAMMAR_CONTEXTS.get(written)
const lang = context?.lang ?? written📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Restore exact highlighter-class detection.
startsWith('shiki') treats an authored shiki-custom class as injected output. Because it has no . separator, userBlockAttrs removes it during Markdown serialization. Use token-aware detection so authored prefixed classes remain intact and customized rangi class shapes still filter correctly.

What
Inline code that declares a language is now highlighted by the shiki plugin, so
`Ref<T>`{lang="ts-type"}renders as tokens instead of plain text. Two fragment languages ship with it,ts-typeandvue-html, which seed the TypeScript and Vue grammars so a bare type or a bare tag tokenizes. Inline code naming a grammar that is not loaded is left exactly as authored, sincelangis a real HTML attribute for natural language and`Bonjour`{lang="fr"}must not become code.Why
Nuxt UI prop tables write every type as
{lang="ts-type"}and@nuxtjs/mdchighlighted those, so this is the last piece missing to move ui.nuxt.com over. The earlier version of this branch also reworked how the highlighter keeps a user class apart from its own, that part is dropped here and the existing mechanism is reused, the leak it was fixing is a separate follow up.Summary by CodeRabbit
