Bash

Block Highlighting

Language highlighting can be enabled with PyMdown and Pygments 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
```

Inline Hilighting

Inline highlighting can be added by prefixing the code snippet with three colons and the name of the supported programming language:

```:::LANGUAGE some code snippet```
or
`:::LANGUAGE some code snippet`

Example:

The read command can be used to read input from STDIN. Use the array flag -a to store the provided word sequence as an array: read -a my_array <<< "hello world"; echo ${my_array[0]}.

Inline Markdown

The `:::bash read` command can be used to read input from STDIN.  Use the array flag `-a` to store the provided word sequence as an array:
```:::bash read -a my_array <<< "hello world"; echo ${my_array[0]}```.
