block. See [[*Languages]], for identifiers of supported languages.
When =<language>= identifier is omitted, the block also cannot
have =<switches>= and =<header arguments>=.
Language identifier is also used to fontify code blocks in Org
buffers, when ~org-src-fontify-natively~ is set to non-~nil~. See

Fontification of code blocks can give visual separation of text and
code on the display page. Set ~org-src-fontify-natively~ to non-~nil~
to turn on native code fontification in the /Org/ buffer. The
fontification follows the major mode used to edit the code block (see
~org-src-lang-modes~ above).
To further customize the appearance of ~org-block~ for specific
languages, customize ~org-src-block-faces~. The following example
shades the background of regular blocks, and colors source blocks only
for Python and Emacs Lisp languages.
