<code>lang="nix"</code> can be used to highlight Nix expressions. For console snippets, root prompts are conventionally indicated with {{ic|#}}, while non-root prompts look like {{ic|$}}. <code>lang="console"</code> highlights such prompts correctly, while <code>lang="bash"</code> treats {{ic|#}} as the beginning of a comment, as it is intended for scripts.

=== Examples ===

* <code>lang="nix"</code> can be used to highlight Nix expressions.

* <code>lang="html+handlebars"</code> may be used to highlight wikitext.
