Inline source code highlighting

Hi,

I'd like to use source code highlighting inline and wonder if there's a defined syntax for this already?
How about using for example: [language-cypher]`CREATE`

Is there any way to define shortcuts for the rather lenghty [language-langname] ?

Anders,

There's an open issue in which we've been discussing this feature. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1043

My preference is actually an inline macro. I think inline macros are a lot easier to read _and_ is less typing.

source:cypher[CREATE]

Unfortunately, it's not yet possible to get passthrough behavior with inline macros, so you'd need to check for a passthrough in the content part in case it's needed.

source:cypher[+CREATE (with some characters to escape in here)+]

You can find some other proposals in the referenced issue. This is entirely possible to implement today using extensions...though I agree having it in core would be very interesting.
