I could have sworn that we had C highlighting at least, since this question (https://software.codidact.com/questions/277486) uses it

I give up, the damn thing is probably just not enabled on Meta for some reason.

@Moshi syntax highlighting is only enabled for communities where we expect code, because (like Mathjax) it adds some rendering time to every post and we don't want to slow down sites that wouldn't benefit. Sorry about your edge case; it's certainly reasonable to ask on Meta about the syntax highlighter, since it's a general (configurable) tool, but unfortunately you can't demonstrate it here.
