Nick Vigilante c84aa564ba docs: normalize code-fence languages for Shiki compatibility (#27161)
Normalizes non-standard code-fence language tags across `docs/**` so a
strict highlighter (Shiki, used by Fumadocs) won't fail the build on an
unrecognized language, and unifies redundant synonym tags onto one
canonical form per language. The current renderer (Speed-Highlight)
detects the language from the code content, not the fence label, so this
drift wasn't visible until now.

## Changes

- `hcl` -> `tf` (199 fences, including indented ones nested in
numbered/bulleted lists). Shiki ships `hcl` and `terraform` as two
distinct grammars (not aliases); every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**`
is actually Terraform resource/data/provider syntax, so the more
specific `terraform` grammar is correct for all of them. `tf` is Shiki's
own alias for that grammar, and it's also what GitHub's own markdown
renderer resolves to the same HCL/Terraform highlighting.
- `pwsh`/`powershell` -> `ps1`. Both `ps` and `ps1` are registered
PowerShell aliases in Shiki, but on GitHub's renderer only `.ps1` is a
registered file extension (`.ps` isn't), so `ps1` renders identically to
`powershell` there today while bare `ps` would silently lose
highlighting.
- `env` -> `dotenv` (a dedicated Shiki grammar for `KEY=VALUE` files)
- `text`/`output`/`none`/`url` -> `txt`. Same built-in plain-text
fallback either way, just shorter.
- `Dockerfile` -> `dockerfile` (lowercase)
- `bash`/`shell` -> `sh` (732 fences). Shiki and GitHub both alias all
three to a single shell grammar; this was already the style guide's
stated preference, just not enforced across the existing corpus until
now.
- `markdown` -> `md` (4 fences). Alias of the same grammar in both Shiki
and GitHub.
- `jsonc` -> `json` (1 fence). The block has no comments or trailing
commas, so it doesn't need the comments-capable grammar.
- `ts` -> `tsx` (2 fences, `docs/about/contributing/frontend.md`).
Verified the actual content tokenizes identically under both grammars,
and a sibling block in the same file already needs `tsx` for real JSX,
so unifying to one tag is safe for this file. Documented a caveat: `tsx`
mis-tokenizes the legacy angle-bracket type-assertion syntax
(`<Type>value`), which is invalid in real `.tsx` files anyway, so use
`value as Type` instead.
- `yml` -> `yaml` (1 fence)
- Updated `docs/.style/style-guide/formatting.md` to document all
canonical tags

`promql` (2 fences) and `caddyfile` (2 fences) are left as-is. Shiki
doesn't bundle a grammar for either, so they need a custom grammar
registration when the site adopts Shiki, rather than degrading to `txt`.
Tracked as follow-up work under DOCS-118 and
[DOCS-544](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-544/vendor-a-local-promql-grammar-for-shiki-syntax-highlighting)
(promql).

<details>
<summary>How the fence tags were verified</summary>

Each tag was tested against a real `shiki@latest` highlighter instance
(`codeToHtml`/`codeToTokens`) and cross-checked against GitHub's
`@wooorm/starry-night` grammar sources (the renderer that actually
displays these `.md` files today, in repo browsing and PR diffs), since
that's what determines whether brevity is safe before Shiki adoption:

```text
FAIL  env        -- Language `env` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  Dockerfile -- Language `Dockerfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  promql     -- Language `promql` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  caddyfile  -- Language `caddyfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  pwsh       -- Language `pwsh` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  output     -- Language `output` is not included in this bundle.
```

`hcl` doesn't error in Shiki, since it's a real grammar, but that's
exactly the trap: it was silently rendering every fence with the generic
HCL grammar instead of the Terraform-specific one. Every `hcl`-tagged
fence in `docs/**` was manually checked against `origin/main` and is
genuinely Terraform content.

For `ts`/`tsx`, tokenizing the actual doc content confirmed identical
output under both grammars; a synthetic test with the legacy
angle-bracket cast syntax confirmed `tsx` degrades on that specific
construct, which the style guide now calls out.

The first normalization pass only matched fence tags at column 0
(`^```tag$`), missing tags indented inside numbered/bulleted lists. A
follow-up pass caught the remaining occurrences at any indentation
level.

Microsoft Entra ID authentication (OIDC)

This guide shows how to configure Coder to authenticate users with Microsoft Entra ID using OpenID Connect (OIDC)

Prerequisites

  • A Microsoft Azure Entra ID Tenant
  • Permission to create Applications in your Azure environment

Step 1: Create an OAuth App Registration in Microsoft Azure

  1. Open Microsoft Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com) → Microsoft Entra ID → App Registrations → New Registration
  2. Name: Name your application appropriately
  3. Supported Account Types: Choose the appropriate radio button according to your needs. Most organizations will want to use the first one labeled "Accounts in this organizational directory only"
  4. Click on "Register"
  5. On the next screen, select: "Certificates and Secrets"
  6. Click on "New Client Secret" and under description, enter an appropriate description. Then set an expiry and hit "Add" once it's created, copy the value and save it somewhere secure for the next step
  7. Next, click on the tab labeled "Token Configuration", then click "Add optional claim" and select the "ID" radio button, and finally check "upn" and hit "add" at the bottom
  8. Then, click on the button labeled "Add groups claim" and check "Security groups" and click "Save" at the bottom
  9. Now, click on the tab labeled "Authentication" and click on "Add a platform", select "Web" and for the redirect URI enter your Coder callback URL, and then hit "Configure" at the bottom:
    • https://coder.example.com/api/v2/users/oidc/callback

Step 2: Configure Coder OIDC for Microsoft Entra ID

Set the following environment variables on your Coder deployment and restart Coder:

CODER_OIDC_ISSUER_URL=https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/v2.0 # Replace {tenant-id} with your Azure tenant ID
CODER_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<client id, located in "Overview">
CODER_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<client secret, saved from step 6>
# Restrict to one or more email domains (comma-separated)
CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN="example.com"
CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_FIELD="upn" # This is set because EntraID typically uses .onmicrosoft.com domains by default, this should pull the user's username@domain email.
CODER_OIDC_GROUP_FIELD="groups" # This is for group sync / IdP Sync, a premium feature.
# Optional: customize the login button
CODER_OIDC_SIGN_IN_TEXT="Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID"
CODER_OIDC_ICON_URL=/icon/microsoft.svg

Note

The redirect URI must exactly match what you configured in Microsoft Azure Entra ID

# Keep standard scopes
CODER_OIDC_SCOPES=openid,profile,email,offline_access

After changing settings, users must log out and back in once to obtain refresh tokens

Learn more in Configure OIDC refresh tokens.

Troubleshooting

  • "invalid redirect_uri": ensure the redirect URI in Azure Entra ID matches https://<your-coder-host>/api/v2/users/oidc/callback
  • Domain restriction: if users from unexpected domains can log in, verify CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN
  • Claims: to inspect claims returned by Microsoft, see guidance in the OIDC overview
