Miscellaneous GitHub Gists I use (mostly for Squarespace projects)

A scattered collection of code snippets, regex patterns, and one-off fixes I’ve found useful while working on Squarespace sites and related tooling. Unlikely to be broadly useful, but handy for me to keep in one place.

Syntax highlighting

As this site makes extensive use of code examples I wanted to be able to make use of syntax highlighting in order make the code easier to read. I found that Squarespace code blocks do not support syntax highlighting.

  
    <h1>H1 Heading</h1>
<p>This is a Squarespace code block. As you can see it does not support syntax highlighting.</p>

To get around this limitation I decided to use Squarespace embed blocks to embed Github Gists. This way syntax highlighting is supported and the code examples will still exist if I ever shut down this website.

I don’t want to have a separate Gist for every single code snippet.
