@profoundlynerdy The only real way to do so is with something like this: https://blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-built-in-syntax-highlighting/ — using a color font and all the logic you can incorporate into it for this.

Otherwise, CSS does not provide any tools that will help with this (unless we're talking about still using JS or another language to statically highlight some code and output the result as HTML&CSS — there are plenty of solutions for that).
