Syntax highlighting with mdsvex

mdsvex has automatic, built-in syntax highlighting with Prism.js; just include the language name after the triple backticks, like so:

```css
/* Your CSS here */
```

And that will render just like so:

.my-css-class {
    color: #ffd100;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    /* etc... */
}

Here’s how you’d do JavaScript:

```js
// You can use js or javascript for the language
```

Highlighted code sample:

function invertNumberInRange(num, range) {
    return range - num;
}

invertNumberInRange(25, 100); // 75

Of course, mdsvex supports Svelte highlighting, too:

<script>
    import myComponent from '$lib/components/myComponent.svelte';

    export let myProp = undefined;
</script>

<div>
    <MyComponent prop={myProp}>
</div>

All these colors are in src/lib/assets/css/prism.css, if you’d like to change them.
