<h3>JavaScript</h3>

<pre class="language-javascript"><code>function test() {

		console.log('foo')
	}
}
</code></pre>

<h3>Dart</h3>

<p>Changing language-dart to language-markup works</p>

<pre><code class="language-dart">
void main() {
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		print('hello ${i + 1}');
	}

	assert(num.parse('42') is int);
	assert(num.parse('0x42') is int);
	assert(num.parse('0.50') is double);
}
</code></pre>

<h3>LISP</h3>

<p>Changing language-lisp to language-markup works</p>

<pre class="language-lisp"><code>
(defun factorial (n)
	(if (= n 0) 1
		(* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
</code></pre>

Research direction

Start with plugins/show-invisibles/prism-show-invisibles.js, especially handleToken at line 45 and addInvisibles at line 74, then reproduce the supplied HTML example with Dart and Lisp highlighting. Done means the show-invisibles plugin no longer throws the reported TypeError for either language; add or run a regression check if the repository provides one.
