Originally assigned to: @MayurSMahajan on GitHub.

Description

Support for the Luau programming language in code blocks, same issues as https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5541: bad syntax highlighting
Normal Lua doesn't seem to highlight some of the type related parts of Luau

Impact

Better to read code that's highlighted

Additional Context

Hello, while Lua (https://www.lua.org) is in most parts similar to Luau, (https://luau.org), Luau has some features that Lua doesn't meaning that code highlighting doesn't work as well as it should

VSCode with plugins

AppFlowy with language set to Lua

Hey @OctoShotG! Currently we depend on a third party package for language support, unfortunately Luau is not supported in that third party package. Thus we can not provide Luau support with Appflowy right away. We could possibly support it by forking the third party highlights package and adding Luau Modes in it. But that would take time.
