Clarification on TODO item: "Display source code from markdown more correctly."

[varphi-online]

Hiya,

I would love to try to start implementing this TODO item, but would like some clarification on the phrase "more correctly". I interpret this as possibly enclosing .md code blocks in the html <code> tag, or possibly using something like the Golang Chroma library to apply inline styling, per-language, with a config option, but don't want to work on something that isn't needed, thank you!

Hey Varphi, thanks for picking up another issue! Good question. That TODO point refers to showing markdown indicators (e.g. ```python) in the RSS feed. There are a couple ways we can solve that, but we have to keep some limitations in mind.

• Most people (incl me) use newsboat (or another terminal based application) to get their feeds. As a result, color styling probably won't come across. Moreover, adding more complex styling is also adding more things that can break.
• People have different go versions on their systems. So adding external dependencies could break user spaces.

As a result, I'm in favor of the simpler approach. The <code> block seems like a good place to start 👍 I'm also curious to test how newsboat deals with that.

@varphi-online I quite like the way it was solved btw, including the new case switch statement. Good work 🥇

As for next steps, I think I will plan a broader refactoring somewhere in the future. I'm busy with some other projects now (that I plan to release soon). But, if you can think of any lacking features feel free to open a PR/Issue whenever.

PS: Your coding is quite good, especially considering you're new to GO. So feel free to contribute to anything you find on my github. Also, if I can ever help you out (with something coding related), please let me know. Preferably using the email available on my website (see github profile). I owe you one for these contributions 👍
