How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Shiki names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Library. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Shiki also lists Highlight.js, Prism.js, Pygments, Rouge as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
