Hi @D1mon can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

Press "Config" select Style to "Simple" this is without highlight code syntax. There is currently no syntax highlighting in the program ("so" program). I want syntax highlighting when viewing code. By the link above we do and switch: "Config" Style -> "Advanced" and "theme" -> "dracula" or other theme.

made some screenshots without syntax highlighting and with syntax highlighting

Oh yes, syntax highlighting. This would be cool, but seems like a high level of effort. Maybe if I find time, or others are motivated. My initial thoughts on the approach:

• Use the CodeBlockKind::Fenced enum variant in the markdown parser.
• Use a lib like syntect for the actual heavy lifting. Somehow get like an AST out of it, so that the output can be coerced into a cursive SpannedString.
• Transform the current cursive theme into a theme expected by syntect, so the colors blend in well.
• It might be difficult to add this to the --lucky prompt, unless termimad explicitly adds this feature as well.
