Mkdocs-material: Missing syntax highlighting for code blocks

[oliverschwendener]

Description

There is no syntax highlighting in code blocks.

Expected behavior

I expect markdown code blocks to have syntax highlighting (like the default mkdocs theme does).

Example markdown code block:

``` javascript
function add(a, b) {
    return a + b
}

Syntax highlighting in default mkdocs theme:

Actual behavior

If I use this mkdocs theme there is no syntax highlighting in code blocks:

Steps to reproduce the bug

2. Install the latest version of Material with pip: pip install mkdocs-material
3. Add the following line to mkdocs.yml: theme: 'material'
4. Run the built-in dev-server: mkdocs serve
5. Open up http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in the browser

Package versions

Did you install Pygments and activate CodeHilite extension in your theme?

Please read the docs:

The thing is: if you install mkdocs-material via pip, it SHOULD install Pygments for you, as it is specified as a dependency. Please check if Pygments is/was installed. If not, we can look into it.

Yes Pygments was installed with mkdocs-material. I just forgot to add

markdown_extensions:
  - codehilite

to my mkdocs.yml. Sorry for that & Thanks!
