I love this tool! I added a small modification to support my favourite shell, nushell, a new kind of shell where everything is structured data.

After some polishing and adding tests, I thought it was time to contribute my changes back.

Thank you so much for creating this great tool, @maaslalani! 🙏
I hope my contribution is up to your standards. Please let me know if I should change anything.

Summary

• Added nushell language support for syntax highlighting in slides
• Added nushell support for .nu file extension mapping with nu command
• Follows the same pattern as recent language additions (Haskell Add haskell support to languages.go #299 , Scala add scala support using scala-cli #298 )

🎨 How Syntax Highlighting Works

The Problem

• Chroma (used by Glamour) doesn't natively support nushell syntax highlighting
• Code blocks with nu identifiers showed as plain text

The Solution

1. Preprocessing: Before markdown is rendered, replace nu` with bash`
2. Fallback: Bash syntax highlighting provides reasonable highlighting for most nushell syntax
3. Future-Proof: System ready for native nushell support when available in Chroma

Code Flow

Markdown Input → Syntax Preprocessing → Glamour/Chroma → Highlighted Output
 ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
```nu → ```bash → Chroma → Highlighted
echo "hi" echo "hi" Lexer Code Block
``` ``` 

Testing

• Built and tested locally with make test
• Verified compilation with make build
• Test with actual nushell code blocks in markdown presentations
• Added nushell syntax highlighting
