Lexicon Embeds Overview
There’s an excellent discussion and thread about syntax highlighting of code blocks happening today: I think most notably there’s some alignment around using a lexicon to represent code blocks (say Tangled’s strings) and embedding those, rather than just doing syntax highlighting w/in the constraints of a bsky post. This seems like a good place to hammer a bunch of things out.

Is there a broadly used lexicon for *book* highlights yet? (eg. for your Xteink/KOReader, or highlighted.app, highlights) (I figure this could be handy for sense-making on @semble.so, and for everyone with their new fancy xteink devices…)
