I had the same issue, that's why i used mustache. I plan to investigate further, when I get a chance.

@araujogui Aha! The Shiki configuration contains several `` $` `` calls

If you change it to .replace(..., () => theJS, it'll work

[avivkeller]

We should probably change all instances of unknown code replacement, to prevent it from happening at any point

@flakey5 we probably need to also update upstream PR on nodejs/node for the righ binary invocation, since now the binary is doc-kit (unrelated to this PR, but just wanted to use the opportunity)
