highlight.js v10.7+ has deprecated 'highlightBlock', we need to use 'highlightElement'

[lucascaton]

Hi there 👋

highlight.js v10.7 includes some deprecations and I noticed this in my website's console (browser dev tools):

Deprecated as of 10.7.0. highlightBlock will be removed entirely in v12.0
rollbar.min.js:1 Deprecated as of 10.7.0. Please use highlightElement now.

I'm seeing this as well! Wondering will this be updated and what happens to this package when Highlight.js goes to v12

Still the same problem as in 2021. Please consider choosing the recommended way :-)

@n2o, what's the recommended way?

[n2o]

The functions regarding hljs.highlightBlock are deprecated. Your error message describes a solution.

Used, e.g., in this line: https://github.com/akiran/react-highlight/blob/master/src/index.js#L21

Ah, I see. I thought you meant for me to choose the recommended way 😅

#81 uses the new API, but obviously this project is dead... I dropped this lib from my project and switched to https://github.com/react-syntax-highlighter/react-syntax-highlighter
