FONT WITH BUILT-IN SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

This blog discusses how to implement syntax highlighting within a font. Using a font instead of a framework for syntax highlighting allows for an easier installation process and fewer dependencies. It also makes pages load faster, can work everywhere, and doesn't require maintenance or updating. While this method is not a direct replacement for more robust syntax highlighting libraries, it works well enough for simple needs.
