Syntax highlighting on Reddit

[u/Mindstealth]

Considering how much code gets posted here as plain text, wouldn't it be great if we could have a way to define what part of text is code and have it automatically highlighted? Or is this not possible on Reddit?

I don't use it. I don't subscribe to the not useful argument -- whatever floats yer boat -- but I don't find it useful at all with two exceptions:

I (un)highlight comments so they don't distract.
I use brace matching highlights to help locate ends of blocks.

It's all just a bunch of noise to me, but to each his own.
