Axe-core: axe extension suppresses code highlighting script on getbootstrap.com

[patrickhlauke]

in Chrome at least, loading https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/introduction/ when the extension is active blocks/overrides the JS-based code highlighting.

This appears to be related to #1868

I've noticed this on my own blog and the issue was driving me crazy. I thought it must be something with PrismJS or Chrome, until I found the real root cause. The axe web extension reapplies PrismJS on already tokenized code, so things are breaking.

But this also means that all my code examples are broken for axe web extension users (mainly because of #1868). Please prioritize this issue, as Axe users and people posting code examples on the internet are often the same group, and the Axe extension is messing things up (missing line breaks, missing syntax highlighting):

Notice: same issue as #2711

Hey folks, we've implemented a fix for this and this will be rolling out in a release soon.
