Here’s a Lisp block:

````
```lisp
(cond (nil "Nothing") (t :else))
```

````

This is how it looks:

```lisp
(cond (nil "Nothing") (t :else))

```

However, unless I’m mistaken, the highlighting library should support Lisp. It’s just not enabled by default:

You probably need to enable it:

While you enable `lisp`, please also add `clojure` and `scheme`. Maybe even some other languages that have fans within the community 🙂 .

Fixed, thanks for pointing this out!
