Torchlight relies on the VS Code engine, giving us access to a wide ecosystem of best-in-class language grammars.
Several of these are the defaults you'd expect, a few have been specially added by request (Laravel Blade, Statamic Antlers), and some have been written by us exclusively for Torchlight (curl, for example).
The names below are just for human readability, to use the language in your blocks, use the key attribute whenever a language is required.
Some lanugages have multiple aliases, those are denoted by the pipes |. They are provided for your convenience.

If you are using Torchlight to document an API, you may find the default highlighting for the shell language a little uninspired when it comes to curl examples.
We have written a custom language grammar specifically for curl, to highlight the different parts of the command and its parameters.
Standard shell language:
1curl https://api.stripe.com/configurations?example1=foo&example2=bar \2 -d "business_profile[privacy_policy_url]"="https://example.com/privacy" \3 -d "business_profile[terms_of_service_url]"="https://example.com/terms" \4 -d "features[invoice_history][enabled]"=trueCustom curl language:
1curl https://api.stripe.com/configurations?example1=foo&example2=bar \2 -d "business_profile[privacy_policy_url]"="https://example.com/privacy" \3 -d "business_profile[terms_of_service_url]"="https://example.com/terms" \4 -d "features[invoice_history][enabled]"=trueIf you have any requests for modifications or new languages, let us know!
