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-type and vue-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, since lang is a real HTML attribute for natural language and `Bonjour`{lang="fr"} must not become code.

Why

Nuxt UI prop tables write every type as T{lang="ts-type"} and @nuxtjs/mdc highlighted 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

  • New Features
    • Improved inline code highlighting, including support for language attributes and built-in TypeScript and Vue HTML syntax.
    • Fenced code blocks now use their authored language directly.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Preserved raw HTML code elements during processing.
    • Prevented internal syntax-highlighting classes from appearing in generated Markdown.
    • Highlighting failures now surface instead of being silently ignored.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Shiki guidance and inline-code specifications to reflect current behavior.
    • Removed documentation for grammar-context configuration and inline preStyles behavior.

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.

Tip

Click the link under each diagram to open it on a canvas you can zoom, pan and step through.

🪧 More tips
  • Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
  • Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists.
  • Untick Architecture lens or Data flow lens under View to hide a diagram, or tick Expand every detail to open every section. The comment redraws in a few seconds.
  • The diagrams are links. Click one to open it on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change.
  • Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time.
  • The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time.
  • Set github.comment.collapsed: true in .github/pr-lens.yml to fold the comment behind one View architecture and data flow row. Drawing still runs on every push.
  • Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and your model provider's key as its api-key to run PR Lens from your own CI. Any /chat/completions endpoint works.
  • Push a commit and the comment redraws for the new head. A slow older run never overwrites a newer one.
  • Switch GitHub to dark mode and the diagrams follow. The moving dots are this pull request's data in motion.

Thanks for using PR Lens! It's built by Coldtea, free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Shiki now highlights language-annotated inline code, supports configurable grammar contexts, and preserves Markdown round-trips. Serialization removes injected highlighter classes. Documentation, specifications, public exports, and tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Inline Shiki highlighting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inline highlighting and grammar resolution
packages/comark/src/internal/shiki.ts
The Shiki plugin highlights inline code with lang or language, resolves built-in and custom grammar contexts, and keeps unregistered grammars unchanged.
Serialization and public API integration
packages/comark/src/internal/stringify/..., packages/comark/src/plugins/shiki*
Serialization strips injected highlighter classes, normalizes HTML classes, and preserves authored classes. Plugin entries export grammar-context APIs.
Behavior tests and specification fixtures
packages/comark/test/plugins/*, packages/comark/SPEC/COMARK/*, test/bundle.test.ts
Tests and fixtures cover inline token output, grammar contexts, fallback behavior, fenced blocks, class handling, Markdown round-trips, and bundle size.
Plugin documentation
docs/content/4.plugins/1.built-in/*
Documentation describes inline options, grammar contexts, styling, fallback behavior, and rangi’s fenced-block scope.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 27000

Inline highlighting and grammar-context behavior are covered, but the untouched-node identity test does not independently prove structural sharing. The change is low risk and mergeable with follow-up to strengthen that assertion.

149-152: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Capture 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.
