There's a checkbox below the post next to 'Enable Markdown'. 
You've found that with the bold markdown. If you click 
'Markdown', it's a link to https://forum.dlang.org/help#markdown 
which includes an example of syntax highlighting:

\```d
// I have a backslash in front of \```
string s = "so this isn't highlighted";
\```

```d
// no backslash
string s = "this has d syntax highlighting";
```
