fix: Only replace CSS class in first *highlighting* span

pawamoy · pawamoy · commit d57740f874f0 · 2025-06-02T13:38:20.000+02:00
When `pymdownx.highlight` sets `auto_title: true`, another span is rendered before the highlighted code. If we replace its CSS class, we mess its final display. Our solution is not very robust: we only look for spans with CSS classes of 1 or 2 characters instead of 1 or more characters. Issue-281: #281
