Inlinehilite

The Inlinehilite extension included in the PyMdown Extensions package adds support for inline code highlighting. It's useful for short snippets included with body copy.

Installation

Make sure that the PyMdown Extensions package [is installed][] and add the following lines to your mkdocs.yml:

markdown_extensions:
  - pymdownx.inlinehilite

Usage

Syntax is similar to usual code highlighting, with the langauge shebang followed by one space. If you need to escape the highlight (like we're about to), add a space prior to the shebang.

For example, #!js var test = 0;, which was achieved using #!js var test = 0;. Alternatively, you can use the triple colon, :::js var test = 0; to produce the same result, :::js var test = 0;.
