If they aren't listed how does an admin know they exist or when to use them?

Syntax highlighting is an often requested feature.

Maybe highlight.js could be set up to use automatic highlighting unless a class is specified in the BBCode, such as, [code=html]. That would allow correcting it if the wrong class was automatically selected.

I thought emojis required characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), (being 4 byte characters) and therefore in MySQL require the utf8mb4 character set, which isn't set by default, and is only available in versions >= 5.3.3. If that is correct would not a check on the database type ...
