My name is Michael Lehmann. I'm a developer, architect, technical team lead and occasional speaker. I work for Zühlke Engineering AG as a Lead Software Architect aiming to help my customers and team mates to design and develop software. I specialised in developing distributed systems with micro-service architectures and modern web technologies.

15 years ago, C# did not have a large variety of unit test frameworks and supporting libraries. That has changed in the meantime. The community has grown considerably and so has the range of libraries and tools that can be used for unit tests. While ...
If you read my blog regularly you may have noticed that I recently introduced pagination to my article list. In order of that, I would like to explain how I implemented that with the tech stack of my blog - NextJS and MongoDB. Pagination is one of th...
A good friend of mine once told me about a conference talk that was about so-called task-based UIs. I considered this architecture style for an application in a private bank which was responsible for checking the suitability for finance instrument tr...
I recently implemented a small hint showing the reading time of an article in my blog. This is a functionality used quite much when reading some technical articles written by the developer community. It helps me to decide whether I have the time to r...
In larger projects, the cooperation of several teams and long-term maintenance is always an issue. The architecture must be defined in such a way that such aspects are possible. This is often implemented with a certain degree of modularization. This ...
I just set up my new Ghost blog and recognized the missing support for the C# programming language. C# is my main programming language and plan to write some posts about my work with it.
With that in mind, I searched for a way to add the syntax highlighting support for additional languages. I'm using the Caffein Theme for the Ghost platform. The theme uses PrismJS to introduce syntax highlighting for code snippets.
Prism has a plugin called "Autoloader". Autoloader will dynamically load the language used in code blocks. I did not want to make big changes to the theme, but Luckily Ghost allows us to inject code on the index page. Add the following code to the site footer code injection:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/components/prism-core.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/plugins/autoloader/prism-autoloader.js"></script>
<script>Prism.plugins.autoloader.languages_path = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/components/'</script>
With that change, the syntax highlighting should now also work for languages like C# by specifying the language on the markdown code block.
