I'm using semantic-ui for a website and I want to know if code highlighting is an actual feature it supports.

There are code blocks shown throughout the library's docs pages with highlighted code but I can't find any details about how to use it in my project.

After looking at their page's source code I tried creating the following divs which did not highlight the code:

<div class="ui segment">
  <div class="ui ignored code" data-type="bash" data-title="mands">
    #!/bin/bash

    # test
    echo 'hello there'
  </div>
</div>

Also tried including this script: .min.js

Am I coding it wrong or is code highlighting not even part of the library?

As jlukic said in this post they use highlight.js library to insert code.Then you need to initialize initHighlightingOnLoad() function to use their code syntax:

hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.12.0/styles/default.min.css">
<script src="https://semantic-ui./javascript/library/highlight.min.js"></script>

<div class="ui segment">

  <pre><code class="bash">

      #!/bin/bash

      # test
      echo 'hello there'
    </code></pre>
</div>
