Suggestion: language syntax highlighting

[Nicolas Ramz]

Most apps that use MD type syntax suppport specifying a language when using the code block:

```javascript

// this is JavaScript code

console.log('hi!'):

```

Trello supports the code block but seems to ignore the language parameter of the code block.

How about adding syntaxt highlighting support for Trello ?

@Krisztian Kovacs Thanks for the information! I wasn't able to find the feature-request link from the Trello's website.

I sent an email to feature-ideas@trello.com: I'll let you know if it's added onto the board :)

[Krisztian Kovacs]

cheers!

Disappointing that they don't seem to have added it yet.

Trello now gives you a drop down box to select a language as soon as you type "```"

When editing the card description or comment text it shows within code markup data-language

However as soon as you save the description/comment text that attribute disappears. 

It seems like they've a bit of thought to it but then given up. Nothing appears here:

Which is their new roadmap

This feature would be great for Trello boards and give an extra string to the bow for things like Knowledge hubs.

hi there,

I could totally get behind this.

I'm not sure here is the best place for feature requests, trello has an email address for that  feature-ideas@trello.com

And then they'll put it on their board: https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development-roadmap

I'd never want to steal your idea, but I would love to vote for it (no voting on the board though). :)
