highlight.js not working for language-tex

[adigitoleo]

I can't get latex code blocks to be highlighted using highlight.js, despite upstream claiming to provide support. Tried with both v10 and v11 of highlight.js.

I'll see if I can repro using one of the simple templates soon. Does it work for anyone else?

I should mention: other languages like python, julia work fine.

What I did:

1. get a latest bundle that has LaTeX in it using this webpage: https://highlightjs.org/download/ ; put the languages/ folder and highlight.min.js in libs/highlight/
2. in the page foot modify the call to highlight to

<script src="/libs/highlight/highlight.min.js"></script>
<script>hljs.highlightAll();</script>

(for me this was in _layout/foot_highlight.html)

result:

PS: you'll likely want to disable pre-rendering as that might not work with the latest version of highlight (I haven't tried but in any case the pre-rendering stuff in Franklin will be deprecated)

Done, works! Thanks.
