I just noticed that you utilize Prism. I found the less file, but the official site only generates CSS. How modified is your variant of Prism and could I simply convert their CSS to LESS and have it function with minimal problems? Can I replace the JS file to add plugins?
Hello David,

The problem with all these LESS files is that they are huge and most of the time, hosting companies would be pretty pissed when it comes to compiling less files. We do not compile them on the fly but what you could do is to just attach your custom prism.css in your Joomla template and you are good to go.

Actually we didn't modify anything from the Prism, you can just replace it as what you want.

Hm, the styling doesn't seem to be used when the code is generated from EasyDiscuss and showing in EasySocial's feed. Is it suppose to be like that?

--EDIT--
Or even within EasyDiscuss, for that matter. The styling is entirely dependent upon ES/ED theme and site template. While I noticed everything should be compiled with LESS.js, I'm not seeing any traces of Prism. Looking easydiscuss-2015.less within /media/com_easydiscuss/styles-lib/easydiscuss/ I see that the import method is @import "prism.less";. But prism.less resides within /styles-lib/vendors/prism/. Experimenting with this now.
