Code highlighting is a resource intensive process. That's why the component ships with caching out of the box. By default, the component uses the default cache store.
To configure the store to use, or to disable caching, change the value of the cache_store param in the markdown config file. Caching is enabled by default.
Additionally, you can set the duration for how long the results are stored in the cache
by setting the cache_duration param in the markdown config file. By default the
results will be cached forever if caching is enabled.
