Okay, I have no idea what the colors signify.

    Are you declaring the syntax type?

    ```shell

    # comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu
# comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu

    ```python

    # comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu
# comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu

    ```ruby

    # comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu
# comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu

    ```sql

    --comment here blah blah blah
select *
from blahblah as gdbhdbgdtbg
where gdbhdbgdtbg.a > 5
order by gdbhdbgdtbg.b desc

    I think it just guesses when you don't declare a specific syntax

    Edit:

    You can use "properties" to highlight the first word a different color from every other word on a line which is actually a pretty decent alternative to the shell syntax as that doesn't pick up commands, only pure bash syntax

    ```properties

    # comment here blah blah blah
-- comment here blah blah blah
// comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu
# comment here blah blah blah
sudo pacman -Syu

    I believe we're using the same markdown formatter as GitHub, so any tricks that work in GitHub discussions will work here, with the caveat that GitHub's autoformatter is also looking at the code repo while ours has no context and will just check generic tokens and apply that to the whole block.

    Edit2: added alternative comment styling to the properties block, seems that # is the most agnostic.
