Is the syntax highlighting on Discourse “broke”?

Please see this [**thread**](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/tweeting-fortran/2425/19) and the comment, “The syntax highlighting of FortranTip is amazing, much better than that of Fortran Discourse.”

But the problem I notice on a couple of web browsers is hardly any highlighting at all beyond plain text for Fortran code at this site for a while now.

See for example one of the [tips](https://twitter.com/fortrantip/status/1475453317526528003) by @Beliavsky on that tweeting thread which under markdown gets “highlighted” on this site as follows:

Now compare it to FortranTip:
