feat(highlight): ZSH syntax highlighting with zi/zunit tokens#729
Conversation
docs(annexes): update available meta-plugins list Signed-off-by: Salvydas Lukosius <ss-o@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Salvydas Lukosius <ss-o@users.noreply.github.com>
- Creates src/prism/prism-zsh.js extending bash grammar
- Registers ZSH builtins (setopt, autoload, compinit, zstyle, bindkey,
typeset, unsetopt, zle, zmodload, zstyle, zcompile, etc.) as builtin tokens
- Registers zi and zunit as keyword tokens for distinct highlighting
- Adds ZSH parameter expansion flag pattern ${(flags)var}
- Swizzles prism-include-languages to load the custom grammar

All 49 docs files with ZSH-specific content (zi, setopt, autoload, compinit, zstyle, bindkey, zle, etc.) now use the `zsh` language identifier for proper syntax highlighting. Generic POSIX shell one-liners (curl install commands) remain as `shell`. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR adds a custom Prism grammar for zsh and updates documentation code fences to use zsh where Zsh-specific syntax appears, enabling more accurate syntax highlighting across the Docusaurus site.
Changes:
- Added a custom Prism
zshlanguage (built onbash) with extra tokens forzi,zunit, Zsh builtins, and parameter expansion flags. - Swizzled Docusaurus’ Prism language loader to register the custom
zshgrammar afterbashloads. - Migrated many MDX code blocks from
shell tozsh to opt into the new highlighting.

Summary
Adds proper ZSH syntax highlighting to all code blocks, replacing generic
shellhighlighting with a custom Prism grammar that understands ZSH-specific syntax including project commands.Changes
New: Custom Prism ZSH grammar (
src/prism/prism-zsh.js)bashgrammar as a basezi,zunit→keywordtoken (distinct highlight color)builtintoken:setopt,unsetopt,autoload,compinit,compdef,zstyle,bindkey,zle,typeset,zmodload,zparseopts, and more${(U)var},${(f)var}etc. →attr-valuetokenNew: Swizzled loader (
src/theme/prism-include-languages.js)additionalLanguagesloading behaviourrequire('../prism/prism-zsh.js')afterbashloads (dependency order)zshis intentionally not added toadditionalLanguagesin config — Docusaurus would error trying to find the non-existentprismjs/components/prism-zsh.jsDocs: 49 MDX files migrated
All
shellcode blocks containing ZSH-specific syntax (zi,setopt,autoload,compinit,bindkey, etc.) updated tozsh. Generic POSIX one-liners (e.g.sh -c "$(curl ...)"install commands) remain asshell.Testing
Expected:
zi load,setopt,autoload,compinitall render with distinct token colors in ZSH code blocks.
