Incorrect Syntax Highlighting

I've found numerous errors in the syntax highlighting engine.

In Markdown, specifying a language does nothing.

The following bash code:

```bash
rsync -avzrU src dst
```

Is incorrectly highlighted in all yellow, and also provides the same exact highlighting as:

```text
rsync -avzrU src dst
```

Which is also incorrect. Both show up in ugly yellow (and actually doesn't change regardless of languages specified):

Block comments are not highlighted properly in many languages.

Incorrect block comment in C++. Only the opening /** is recognized as part of the comment, the other lines are not:

Incorrect block comment in Python. Only the opening triple quote (""") is recognized as part of the comment, the other lines are not:

Please update or change the syntax highlighting engine. It looks like this was fixed in recent versions of highlight.js (which I believe Cacher is using): e.g. commented on here https://github.com/gnab/remark/issues/534

We're on v9.13.1 of highlight.js so not sure what's going on here. Will look into the Markdown code blocks.

Edit:

Able to repro and fix the highlight issue.
