Description
At the moment the command-line plugin will have no prompt nor syntax highlighting for lines denoted using data-output. The command lines will be coloured using the language- class.
It would be fantastic to have another attribute to specify a syntax highlighting language for the data-output lines. Perhaps extend data-output to allow language to be specified here too?: e.g.:
<pre class="command-line language-bash" data-output="2-99 language-json" data-prompt="$"><code>
az account show --output jsonc
{
"environmentName": "AzureCloud",
"id": "2d31be49-d999-4415-bb65-8aec2c90ba62",
"isDefault": true,
"name": "Visual Studio Enterprise",
"state": "Enabled",
"tenantId": "76f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47",
"user": {
"cloudShellID": true,
"name": "richeney@microsoft.com",
"type": "user"
}
}
</code></pre>

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line plugin and reading how data-output ranges are parsed and highlighted. Check any existing plugin tests or examples, then support a language value on data-output while preserving the language used for command lines; done means the shown JSON output is highlighted separately from the bash command.
