  "what": "A syntax highlighter, v4, that uses real TextMate grammars and VS Code themes, so code looks exactly as it does in the editor. Highlighting can run at build time and output plain styled HTML, shipping zero highlighting JavaScript to the browser.",
  "why": "Accuracy beats Prism and highlight.js by a wide margin, and it is now the default in Astro, Fumadocs and VitePress. Any docs page, blog or AI chat that shows code needs it.",
  "warn": "Loading every language and theme at runtime is a multi-megabyte WASM plus grammar payload — import only the languages you use, or precompute highlighting at build time.",
