When I enter a "preformatted" code block in a body of Q or A, I have the option to specify the language of this code like this:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "something"
sleep 10
exit
```

so that the code block is colored (syntax highlighted) appropriately:

#!/bin/bash
echo "something"
sleep 10
exit

I think the system can also color the code automatically by "guessing" about the contents of the code (I may be wrong about this).

Is there a complete list of all the "languages" (like bash, c, python, etc.) supported in AskUbuntu? There are cases where I do not want any coloring, like a simple text data; how can I indicate this?
