Inline code language

[ioquatix]

I'd like to propose an extension that looks like this:

Ruby code: `Object.new`:ruby
Ruby code with extended info: `Object.new`:"ruby lineno=5"

When an inline code block is followed directly by a colon and a non-whitespace character, it gets used for the language.

In addition, some minor internal normalization to the API (don't call it code fence, rather, code info, which makes more sense).

See socketry#1 for a proposed implementation.

@jgm any thoughts on moving this forward?

After considering this again, I think I prefer

Create a new object using ruby:`Object.new`

Hi, maybe talk.commonmark.org is the right place to discuss a new syntax, according to:

There is a forum for discussing CommonMark; you should use it instead of github issues for questions and possibly open-ended discussions. Use the github issue tracker only for simple, clear, actionable issues.

I did a quick search and found this thread, for instance.

I ended up implementing support for

ruby:`Object.new`

syntax, where it is $language:`code`
