Styleguidist tries to render code blocks without language tag

[wkillerud]

Any code block with a language tag of js, jsx or javascript will be rendered as a React component with an interactive playground

From the documentation it looks like only code blocks with the language tab js, jsx, or javascript should render React components. However React Styleguidist even tries to render code blocks without a language tag.

A workaround is to lie and mark the block as a valid but non-JavaScript/JSX language, for instance Java.

A repo which demonstrates the issue and workaround with a component called Dots: https://github.com/wkillerud/example

I would expect code blocks with no language set to be rendered as a code block and not an interactive version.

This is expected behavior for backwards compatibility, usestatic modifier.

Allright. Could the documentation perhaps be updated to reflect this then? :) I can update the quoted line and add an entry to the cookbook if you'd like.

We don’t recommend it but I agree it would be nice to mention that it still works ;-)

I think this is the best place for it: https://github.com/styleguidist/react-styleguidist/blob/master/docs/Documenting.md (and it should be mentioned that this is backwards compatible mode, not recommended one).
