I was re-working my blog and noticed that the built-in [https://highlightjs.org](https://highlightjs.org) highlights for Erlang aren’t very complete. I saw [GitHub - gleam-lang/gleam-highlight.js: 🎨 Gleam syntax highlighting with Highlight.js · GitHub](https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam-highlight.js) and used it as a starting point to create an Erlang version which covers all of the language features I use in my blog. It allows you to use `erlang`, `leex`, and `yecc` code fences. It is vibe-coded but I’ll hopefully find some time to read and then publish it on npm. Code is available on GitHub if you want it now: > **[GitHub - chiroptical/erlang-highlight.js: Add highlight.js for Erlang, leex, and yecc](https://github.com/chiroptical/erlang-highlight.js)** > > Add highlight.js for Erlang, leex, and yecc ---
