I would love to have dyff highlighting in code blocks on PRs. [Initially I went down the path](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code-and-syntax-highlighting) of having a [highlight.js addition](https://github.com/homeport/dyff/issues/289) for this language, but then [the github docs seem to suggest liguist as the way to go](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#syntax-highlighting) - to which I am opening this issue here.
