      Hi,

      It would be nice if when displaying Markdown READMEs in the repository overview, users can disable syntax highlighting altogether for code blocks.

      I've been trying to find a way to do this to no avail in the following Bitbucket documentation.
      https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Display+README+text+on+the+overview

      I only need something really simple like the following example. In the example, the flag lang-none forces no syntax highlighting.

      Contents of README.md

      ```lang-none
      $ even though this looks like a shell session due to the dollar signs
      $ do not try to guess the language or perform any syntax highlighting
      ```

            [BCLOUD-7784] Markdown Force Disable Syntax Highlighting

            I understand. I meant, finally someone actually told me how to do this in Bitbucket's Markdown syntax.

            @arrayentivan This has always been possible.

            You should be able to do that like this:

            :::text
            :::text
            $ even though this looks like a shell session due to the dollar signs
            $ do not try to guess the language or perform any syntax highlighting
            

            Note the mandatory 4 spaces indentation level.
