They say “great artists steal”, and I wanted to showcase how I’ve solved some problems I’ve run into on my site by showing some niche dependencies I’ve picked up. Note that these are mostly files that have originated from other sources that I’ve copied in by hand as opposed to imported.

HAST util from Lezer

I will go more into depth on this on a future article on how syntax highlighting on my blog works, but to summarize: I use a tool called Lezer to handle syntax highlighting.
