I am trying to change the syntax highlighting color scheme in my book when rendering to a GitBook-style webpage. The color schemes available in Pandoc aren't very informative for my code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript). I can modify the CSS directly to change the color scheme, but the underlying problem seems to be that the highlighting-kate
library used isn't doesn't do very descriptive parsing of these languages to produce effective color schemes.
The compiled book looks like it contains a highlight.js (HLJS) based plugin for Gitbook, but I can't figure out how to enable that so that I can drop in a hljs CSS file.
Is there anyway to utilize HLJS instead of Kate for code parsing? Or is there a good way to inject my own custom parsing into Pandoc's markdown rendering process?
