Describe the feature you'd like

The Obsidian plugin "Better Codeblock" creates Code block titles, shows the used programming language and highlights code lines. It would be nice, if Bookstack could get one or all three features.

The plugin for Obsidian, which offers the code block style options: https://github.com/stargrey/obsidian-better-codeblock

This could be a result:

Thanks for your work!

I absolutely agree to @TobiZog, this would be so useful for Homelab documentation as well! Currently i place always a H6 Headline above. Please implement this feature. So much needed
