+excerpt: An introduction to the 11ty plugin.

+
+To do
+
+[] - Introduce Project
+[] - Why did I make it
+[] - how to use it
+[] - examples
+[] - future
+
+One of the things I wanted to do with the revamp of the blog was to make an effort to do more technical writing.
+
+[11ty]() provides its own [plugin](https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight) for syntax highlighting using the [PrismJS]() library. However it doesn't support all the plugins that PrismJS provides. Also missing is support for line numbers, there is an [open issue]() about that, and also [issues](https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight/issues/32) about using a different highlight engine; mentioned are [torchlight](https://torchlight.dev), [shiki](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki).
+
+Someone has already written an 11ty plugin, [eleventy-plugin-highlightjs](https://github.com/b-kelly/eleventy-plugin-highlightjs) using HighlightJS.

+1. What Frontend Mentor is
+    Site that provides differing levels of challenges
+    Owned by Matt Studdert
+    You build your solution to the challenge using any means that you wish (straight HTML/CSS/JavaScript, or React, Svelte and so on)
+1. What do you get
+    base files
+    style sheet
+    paid: figma and sketch
+1. on completing a challenge
+    You submit the challenge
+    Other people can then see your solution
+    slide to compare desktop version against the design image
+    see any questions you have asked
+    can provide comments
+    points
+1. Peer review
+    Other people who either go directly to your challenge page, or have completed the challenge themselves can see your solution
+    they can provide comments, like your solution, bookmark it
+1. My thoughts & experience
+    what do I like
+        find it very useful
+        great for building your skills
+    what do I dislike
+        it can be like the blind leading the blind. Its odd to be offering advice / tips when you are learning and likewise from others
+        sometimes no comments or advice
+    improvements?
+        ???
