Bash

Block Highlighting

Language highlighting can be enabled with Highlight.js by adding a supported programming language name directly after the first ``` grouping in a Markdown code block:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Today is " $(date)

echo -e "\nenter the path to a directory"
read the_path

echo -e "\nfiles and folders: "
ls $the_path

Block Markdown

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "Today is " $(date)

echo -e "\nenter the path to a directory"
read the_path

echo -e "\nfiles and folders: "
ls $the_path
```
