    Description

      Issue Summary

      Syntax highlighting doesn't work properly for source files in a few languages (like Groovy, DART, Jypyter, update Shell ) on the Bitbucket UI.

      Bitbucket Cloud UI use Monaco-editor which caters to a wide range of languages and is yet to cover a few more and can be found in the link below: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/.

      The source files written in a language not supported by Monaco editor will not do Syntax highlighting in Bitbucket UI.

      However, editing the file in Bitbucket UI can do the Syntax highlighting as Editor use CodeMirror - https://codemirror.net/mode/index.html which does support a different set of language than Monaco editor

      Expected Results
