Description

Verbatim environments that specify a language can be syntax highlighted. Syntax highlighting adds additional spans so that, for example, CSS can be used to make keyword bold or quoted strings a different color.

Syntax highlighting requires an extension function. The list of languages that will be syntax highlighted is taken from $verbatim-syntax-highlight-languages.
