    Hi, I'm using pandoc to convert Markdown to HTML. The issue is that it generates <pre class="cpp"><code> instead of <pre><code class="cpp">

    Changing

    w.innerHTML='<pre><code class="'+t+'">'+x+"</code></pre>";

    to

    w.innerHTML='<pre class="'+t+'"><code>'+x+"</code></pre>";

    in highlight.pack.js doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?

    It's hard to suggest anything simple short of hacking either pandoc or highlight.js because there's no standard semantics for this thing (though to me setting class on <code> seems more natural).

    In highlight.js there's a function blockLanguage that searches for known class names in a <code> class attribute. It can be somewhat easily generalized to look also into block.parentNode (which is the relevant <pre>). I'll think of doing it for the next version...

    Oh... As far as I know Markdown itself doesn't let you specify a code language. Is this some extension you're using?

    Well, thanks a lot then! The heuristics work fine for me most of the time, and when the new highlight.js comes out my life will be even better ;)

    Yes, pandoc has an extended syntax compared to original Markdown. It is also supposed to do syntax highlighting all by itself, but I never managed to have this working. A CSS-based highlighter of yours is better anyway =)

    HTML 5 draft suggests adding a class prefixed with "language-" to the code element:

    Huh! It's great that there's at least a draft about it. I think I'll support this too along with current behaviour for backward compatibility.
