Thanks for the report! This is actually due to the objective-c language being split out from the c-like languages and the tag still pointing to the old language code. I'll get a fix in for this today. Nice catch!

This fix is now live. Any post with the objective-c tag will now correctly assign the lang-objectivec syntax instead of lang-c.

@BenKelly It is better, it now recognises class names and declarations, however it does not highlight methods & properties, so it still looks quite a bit un-highlighted. Could it have a choice of styles perhaps, or is highlight.js just not very good for objective-c?

Traditionally (as a policy) we have not highlighted method dispatch or properties, but we're now more open to this and welcoming PRs in cases where it's simple enough to detect. See github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/issues/2500 There is work to be done deciding how they should be highlighted, whether we need to add new CSS classes, etc... so if you want to help out or join the discussion (or work on a PR) feel free to do so. :-)
