Syntax Highlighter for Dev blog
I'm looking for a good code block formatter that does syntax highlighting on Ghost blog. Does anyone have any good options?
I've tried prism but the colors look too generic.

I use Prism on both my blog and for a book I recently published and have been really pleased with its power and flexibility — since you aren't happy with the default themes you might check https://github.com/PrismJS/prism-themes for additional themes.
There's also a newer, JS-free option that looks really interesting: https://torchlight.dev
If I ever decide to make a major update to my blog, I'll probably give Torchlight a serious look.
Fantastic, the prism-themes are much much better!
Man the torchlight dev with line highlighting is really cool but I prob can't use it with Ghost.
I've used HighlightJS on any blog that requires syntax highlighting and love it: https://highlightjs.org/
Our blog, https://serversideup.net/ uses it for all of our code. Should work with Ghost as well. Hope this helps!
ooo that's a good alternative too. Thank you so much for the suggestion!
That looks fantastic! It’s a shame they charge $14/month for only 5000 visits, though. Really breaks for dev blogs that aren’t more commercialized than an occasional affiliate link.
