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).

Does not touch `offlinedocs/`.

<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.

# Appearance
> [!NOTE]
> Customizing Coder's appearance is a Premium feature.
> [Learn more](https://coder.com/pricing#compare-plans).
Customize the look of your Coder deployment to meet your enterprise
requirements.
You can access the Appearance settings by navigating to
`Deployment > Appearance`.
![application name and logo url](../../images/admin/setup/appearance/application-name-logo-url.png)
## Application Name
Specify a custom application name to be displayed on the login page. The default
is Coder.
## Logo URL
Specify a custom URL for your enterprise's logo to be displayed on the sign in
page and in the top left corner of the dashboard. The default is the Coder logo.
## Announcement Banners
![announcement banner](../../images/admin/setup/appearance/announcement_banner_settings.png)
Announcement Banners let admins post important messages to all site users. Only
Site Owners may set the announcement banners.
Example: Use multiple announcement banners for concurrent deployment-wide
updates, such as maintenance or new feature rollout.
![Multiple announcements](../../images/admin/setup/appearance/multiple-banners.PNG)
Example: Adhere to government network classification requirements and notify
users of which network their Coder deployment is on.
![service banner secret](../../images/admin/setup/appearance/service-banner-secret.png)
## OIDC Login Button Customization
[Use environment variables to customize](../users/oidc-auth/index.md#oidc-login-customization)
the text and icon on the OIDC button on the Sign In page.
## Support Links
Support links let admins adjust the user dropdown menu to include links
referring to internal company resources. The menu section replaces the original
menu positions: documentation, report a bug to GitHub, or join the Discord
server.
![support links](../../images/admin/setup/appearance/support-links.png)
### Icons
The link icons are optional, and can be set to any url or
[builtin icon](../templates/extending-templates/icons.md#bundled-icons),
additionally `bug`, `chat`, `docs`, and `star` are available as special icons.
### Location
The `location` property is optional and determines where the support link will
be displayed:
- `navbar` - displays the link as a button in the top navigation bar
- `dropdown` - displays the link in the user dropdown menu (default)
If the `location` property is not specified, the link will be displayed in the
user dropdown menu.
### Configuration
#### Kubernetes
To configure support links in your Coder Kubernetes deployment, update your Helm
chart values as follows:
```yaml
coder:
env:
- name: CODER_SUPPORT_LINKS
value: >
[{"name": "Hello GitHub", "target": "https://github.com/coder/coder",
"icon": "bug"},
{"name": "Hello Slack", "target":
"https://codercom.slack.com/archives/C014JH42DBJ", "icon":
"/icon/slack.svg"},
{"name": "Hello Discord", "target": "https://discord.gg/coder", "icon":
"/icon/discord.svg", "location": "navbar"},
{"name": "Hello Foobar", "target": "https://foo.com/bar", "icon":
"/emojis/1f3e1.png"}]
```
#### System package
if running as a system service, set an environment variable
`CODER_SUPPORT_LINKS` in `/etc/coder.d/coder.env` as follows,
```dotenv
CODER_SUPPORT_LINKS='[{"name": "Hello GitHub", "target": "https://github.com/coder/coder", "icon": "bug"}, {"name": "Hello Slack", "target": "https://codercom.slack.com/archives/C014JH42DBJ", "icon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/main/site/static/icon/slack.svg"}, {"name": "Hello Discord", "target": "https://discord.gg/coder", "icon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/main/site/static/icon/discord.svg", "location": "navbar"}, {"name": "Hello Foobar", "target": "https://discord.gg/coder", "icon": "/emojis/1f3e1.png"}]'
```
For CLI, use,
```sh
export CODER_SUPPORT_LINKS='[{"name": "Hello GitHub", "target": "https://github.com/coder/coder", "icon": "bug"}, {"name": "Hello Slack", "target": "https://codercom.slack.com/archives/C014JH42DBJ", "icon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/main/site/static/icon/slack.svg"}, {"name": "Hello Discord", "target": "https://discord.gg/coder", "icon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/main/site/static/icon/discord.svg", "location": "navbar"}, {"name": "Hello Foobar", "target": "https://discord.gg/coder", "icon": "/emojis/1f3e1.png"}]'
