Highlight.js has evolved quite a bit since it this doc was written. Updating the example to the latest 9.6 version of Highlight JS hosted by cloudflare
Added a bunch of clarifying narrative, looking at the discussion forum for what people are asking about, and what I myself was confused about.
* clearer separation of advantage of each style - server or client side - at the top
* inconsistent newlines (different column widths) so I just removed them from obvious paragraphs
* added that the highlight shortcode is not used for the client-side javascripts
* Hugo is taking crap for Pygments being slow, so tried to emphasize that's it's in Pygment's lap. I got your back, Hugo.
* On client-side added prism example
* More clarity on how the css and js needs to be added to your templates
* Explained how the client-side scripts work
* Add meta author, description and generator tags
* Add Hugo version beside the logo and in the footer
* Suggest the user to run `go get -u -v` to update dependencies
* Requires Go 1.3+ rather than Go 1.1+
* Improve rendering/formatting in some places
* Add trailing slash to URLs where appropriate
* GitHub redirects all http requests to https, update accordingly
- Rejigged the weight of the extras/ content for the new crossreferences
page.
- Used the new {{</*…*/>}} format for documenting highlighting and to
prevent a warning about the missing `fig` shortcode.
- Correct some typos
- Add backticks and commas where necessary
- Use fenced code blocks specifying "bash" as the language
to avoid weird highlighting
- Place commas outside of quotation marks surroundingn codes
to avoid possible confusion
- Suggest users to use the discussion forum rather than the
mailing list
