I developing a code based chat component. Every chat is some code snippet. For user input, I am using monaco-editor. It works fine.
But as soon as user hits send button, I get raw input from Monaco editor. I need to append this user input to chat list and again highlight this input.
Is there a way I can use Monaco editor to do this? Or do I have to use highlight.js along with Monaco?

I had the same problem so I created issue #1171:
and two solutions were provided:
a) Format an existing HTML element:
monaco.editor.colorizeElement(document.getElementById("yourElement"));
Here is a playground link for trying this out live: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html#creating-the-editor-syntax-highlighting-for-html-elements
b) Format a text which is not part of any element. This is a more generic approach which returns a Promise:
const code = "source code";
monaco.editor.colorize(code, "javascript")
.then(html => document.getElementById("yourElement").innerHTML = html);
