Where is highlight.js?

If I want to add a new language for syntax highlighting, where would I need to place the file? I can't find highlight.js anywhere on my machine, although I built a few Gitbooks with JS(ON) highlighting. There's no subfolder node_modules in gitbook-plugin-highlight, where I had expected the files of highlight.js...

Where I can find the documentation on how to install and start to use it?

Hey,
I am new into CS and have little idea about npm and node.js, I tried to read the code but still not know how to use it.

This is my book.json file:
{
"gitbook": "2.x.x",
"plugins": [
"katex",
"include-codeblock",
"image-captions",
"search",
"codesnippet",
"katex",
"highlight"
],
"pluginsConfig": {
"include-codeblock": {
"unindent": true
}
}
}

however, after I enable "highlight", I still don't know how to start using it. For example if I had a code block like this:

int main(){
    cout << "Hello world" << endl;
    return 0;
}
and I want to highlight "return 0", how can I do that?

Thanks...!!

.hljs-addition and .hljs-addition for syntax diff don't have any CSS except in the sepia theme.

When doing

+ x
- y

it doesn't highlight in gitbook default or night themes, but it does in the sepia theme.

Python syntax highlighting not working?

This code is seen with proper highlighting here.

from Crypto.Cipher import DES3
from Crypto import Random

key = b'Sixteen byte key
iv = Random.new().read(DES3.block_size)
cipher = DES3.new(key, DES3.MODE_OFB, iv)
plaintext = b'Sample plaintext'
msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(plaintext)

But on Gitbook it appears without the highlighting :

I am using triple backquotes followed by python and ending the code chunk with triple backquotes.
