Code Highlighting

pandoc does not implement revealjs themes, but there is information about it here:

https://revealjs.com/code/

https://highlightjs.org/demo

pandoc --list-highlight-languages
pandoc --list-highlight-styles
pandoc --print-highlight-style pygments > my.theme
pandoc --highlight-style my.theme

To disable highlighting, use the --no-highlight option.
