Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

It would be great to implement text formatting in Code Blocks.
Now there is no way how to highlight parts of code.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Sep 9, 2017):
Think this will be quite difficult to implement since formatting is done dynamically via codemirror. Will interfere with the nice code formatting.
@jarensWizmo commented on GitHub (Dec 20, 2017):
We also desire the ability to either highlight or bold text within a code block. We are currently using inline code as a workaround but we prefer to use code blocks in our documentation.
@jarensWizmo commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2017):
It appears that codemirror does support this feature, but I obviously do not know what complications would be faced with implementing this into BookStack editor.

@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2017):
The above demo is simply showing variable height text. The formatting in that demo, As per all regular codemirror use cases, is dependant on the language syntax highlighting. To implement this with codemirror we'd be fighting the syntax highlighting system. We'd probably have to look at implementing an alternative alongside proper codeblock support.
@jarensWizmo commented on GitHub (Dec 27, 2017):
I see, hrmm... not sure if it makes any difference or not, but we often don't select a language in the editor, the source code doesn't show it having a defined language.
<pre><code class="language-">this is a test... I want this to be BOLD</code></pre>Do you think it is possible that not choosing a language could allow for other more basic formatting features?
I have tried to input
<b></b>&<strong></strong>into the source code but it gets removed right away :(@kawawa commented on GitHub (Apr 9, 2019):
I hope this has not previously been suggested, if so please ignore this comment.
What if, instead of trying to modify the codeblock, one of the two is added:
I particular would be interested in this because I predominantly work with outputs from network device command lines and would like to have control what aspects of the output I can emphasize
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 8, 2022):
I'm going to go ahead and close this off since there's been relatively little demand for this since the original issue was opened.
@carlossierra311 commented on GitHub (Jan 13, 2023):
Too bad this was closed, as I too need something similar. In our documentation, it's important to show which lines of code changed at some version, or to highlight parts of code up for discussion/review. Text coloring/formatting would help us achieve that.
