Thank you!
I imagine there are aliases defined for `pandoc --list-highlight-languages`? Since specifying `py` seemed to work just as well as `python`, if I'm remembering correctly. If so, where should I edit in the sources ti add more aliases? (And send those edits as PRs)(Like, `el` could be an alias for `commonlisp` ...)

No real advantages over this - it's basically an alternate syntax for
the same thing.

There's no reference table, as it depends on the compile - however you
can get the list for the current install with:

`pandoc --list-highlight-languages`

The point I was trying to make is that 'plain text' isn't a very
well-defined term, or a structured input language.  Pandoc deals with
structured input, and has several input formats that could reasonably
handle random text - but unstructured text is a bit out of Pandoc's scope.

You're not dealing with unstructured text however - you're working with
source code, and again Pandoc can handle source code in several formats
- Markdown being the best supported and documented.
