TIL: Default code block languages for mkdocs
Really useful for making inline code examples have code highlighting.
When using [Mkdocs with Material](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/), you can set default languages for code blocks in your `mkdocs.yml` configuration file. This is particularly useful for inline code examples that may not have explicit language tags.
```yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
default_lang: python
```
You can see what this looks like in practice with Air's API reference for forms here: [feldroy.github.io/air/api/forms/](https://feldroy.github.io/air/api/forms/). With this configuration, any code block without a specified language defaults to Python syntax highlighting, making documentation clearer and more consistent.
