Comments in python code blocks messes up coloring

Here's an example:

Any idea why, and/or how to work around it?

I have the same issue on c# colored code.

But I think this project is dead. Sadly 👎

I encountered this today as well. It seems to be a problem with highlight.js.

I tried changing <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.1.0/highlight.min.js"></script> to <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.12.0/highlight.min.js"></script> but it has the same issue.

Looks like highlight.js has issues of it's own. No active maintainers, 200+ open issues, 100+ open PRs 😢

I just hit this as well, did the same as @mikemorton and updated highlight.js to no avail. However I did try the same snippet in, for a lack of a better term, vanilla hightlight.js and there it works. Which would indicate this has something to do with the way whiteboard turns markdown into html before highlight.js even has a chance to do it's magic.
