GitHub wiki syntax highlight on markdown not working!
Do I need to change my wiki settings?
EDIT:
PREVIEW:
I think this is not a syntax problem.
cs, javascript, ruby...every not working.
Please help me :)

I always use footnote style links in markdown because it makes the plain text more readable for me. E.g.:
This is [Stack Overflow][1].
[1]: https://stackoverflow.com
in most Markdown renderers will display as:
This is Stack Overflow.
I could have sworn I've been doing this all along in vscode. However, recently I notice that it in vscode renders as:
This is [Stack Overflow][1].
It knows there's something special about the footnote style link because it doesn't render the footnote at all. But the anchor text is not rendered as a link. This seems like a severe regression to me, but I can't find any bugs reported for it.
My specific questions that I am seeking definitive answers on:
Can anyone confirm that this either did or did not work in the past?
Has this been intentionally disabled?
Is this part of the new workspace security settings?
Thanks to those who commented that it works for them. Knowing that it works for other people really helped narrow down my search for what was wrong.
Turns out the Foam extension was causing this. After disabling it footnote links render properly now.
I've read this page:
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/
And everywhere else on Github I can do syntax highlighting inside markdown very simply.
However, on my recent project the syntax highlighting has completely given up on Wiki pages, I can't get it work at all. Everywhere I look the only answer seems to be "make sure you specify the language". It seems like no matter how I specify the language the syntax highlighting doesn't work.
Example page:
https://github.com/ClickSimply/Nano-SQL/wiki/3.-Advanced
However, on that exact same project the highlighting is working as expected in the ReadMe

Seriously out of ideas here, any help is appreciated.
Reached out directly to Github support, this is an issue they're currently working to resolve.

Its working perfectly in the atom md preview but it outputs terribly in Github hosted jekyll website?
My posted md file online:
https://kevin-do.github.io//aztec-parking/
Could someone please help?
The Atom Markdown preview does not use Kramdown, Jekyll does. There are so many different-but-similar Markdown variants that you probably haven't noticed until now.
That said, in this case it's probably the --- at the start. Change it to|---, and add a blank line in between the table and the heading.
On Github, I realized that &&s are highlighted in this file but not in the other languages such as Java, JavaScript etc in the same repo. Does anyone know what the highlight actually means?
Thanks

Because it is an ASHX (WebHandler) file. The syntax highlighting on GitHub it language-specific:
What is ASHX:

Another example of GitHub syntax highlighting for ASHX:
https://github.com/JamesDunne/sql.ashx/blob/master/sql.ashx
This is a bug with GitHub Linguist, which is not selecting the right grammar for highlighting. The current grammar is expecting this kind of syntax and is unable to highlight your file.
My guess is we'd need to select a new grammar just for .ashx. If you know a TextMate, Sublime Text, or Atom grammar capable of highlighting correctly .ashx files, please open an issue or pull request at Linguist.
This is driving me nuts.
Syntax highlighting doesn't work on a single Wiki page in a project on GitHub.
Take this page, for example: https://github.com/oscar-broman/PAWN-Boilerplate/wiki/Built-in-modules
Here's the source for it: https://gist.github.com/3128950
Oh, great, syntax highlighting works even there.
It seems the reason was I put C++ in some places, only c++ is accepted by the Wiki. If one place has the capital C, no highlighting will be done.
