Thanks for the request @techauthoruk, but it looks like there's no official reStructuredText option for CodeMirror 6, which is usually the scope I keep to for adding new languages.

@ssddanbrown
Ah, I know it supported in codemirror 5:
So I guess they have dropped support in v6 (I didn't realise it had moved to a new iteration)...although their website does say: There is also a collection of CodeMirror 5 modes that can be used, and a list of community-maintained language packages.
Ah, well, if it is no longer supported, never mind!
@techauthoruk commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2024):
...which does now beg the question - according to the codemirror website, it seems these are the only languages supported:
If this is the case, this could cause problems for me, as I document VB/VBA/VB.NET as well as reST in my BookStack instance. Does that mean these languages will no longer be supported in BookStack?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2024):
@techauthoruk We updated to CM6 last year (in v23.05), so I'm not currently dropping support for any languages that are supported in current versions of BookStack. Many of the languages on the transition from 5 to 6 has required use of those CM5 legacy modes to retain support, but not all CM5 modes are available in that. I had to build some CM6 compatible modes myself during that transition to avoid dropping languages, and it was pretty painful (the syntax/logic/handling is alien, and hard to understand/write, for me).
reStructuredText is not available in the ported (CM5) legacy modes, nor a fully supported CM6 language.
@techauthoruk commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2024):
Fair enough!
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2024):
I'll therefore close this off as out of scope.
