Syntax highlighting for both Powershell and Batch works if specified manually in an HTML comment, but not via a code block:

• Doesn't Work: (code block)

  • ```bat
    

  • ```powershell
    

  
  
• Works: (HTML comment)
  • <!-- language-all: lang-bat -->
<!-- language: lang-bat -->
  • <!-- language-all: lang-powershell -->
<!-- language: lang-powershell -->
    
    

Why is there this disparity?

• I'm not familiar with how StackExchange sites individually function, but wouldn't it be a lot simpler and efficient, causing less discombobulation, if shell languages were supported the same across all sites supporting code block markdown?
  
  For example, syntax highlighting for both Powershell and Batch are auto-applied on StackOverflow.
