 * Hello ^_^
 * I am using the WordPress Monostack theme and am enjoying the pronoun/conjunction/
   preposition “syntax” highlighting! Very fun. However, I am wishing to post code
   snippets in blog posts within a CodeColorer code block to provide actual language/
   syntax highlighting. My question…
 * -Is there a way I can disable the monostack-syntax-highlighting within a CodeColorer
   code block?
 *     ```
       <code lang="bash">
       #!/bin/bash
       echo "hello any and all worlds!"
   
   
       ^^Above the theme would highlight "any" and "all" as they are pre-built into the theme as pronouns un functions.php. How can I prevent this just for chunks of code?
       ```

 * There is no way right now. I’ll take a look at this though. Thanks for bringing
   it to my attention!

 * I took a look at this, and it appears the plugin, CodeColorer, has difficulties
   highlighting the text as intended on this theme. All `preformatted` and `code`
   blocks in Gutenberg work just fine without the plugin, but also don’t highlight
   any syntax.
 * It looks like you got it running on your site correctly. If you have time to 
   share your solution, please do so that others might learn from it. Thanks!
