Suggestion: Upgrade MarkDown lexer? #400

Hi,

I have been trying out many scintilla editors and BowPad is my favourite. I did also discover a custom lexer for Markdown used in NotePad4.

Unfortunately, NotePad4 is an SDI application without spell-checking, so not ideal for authoring notes. NotePad4 does add full line colorization and folding to the MarkDown lexer:

sshot-011

Compared to BowPad with the standard MarkDown lexer:

sshot-012

Folding makes writing outline notes much easier, and if combined with BowPad this becomes a very powerful tool:

NotePad4 MarkDown lexer is based on Lexilla version 4 and I am informed this does not work with the current Lexilla library ( zufuliu/notepad4#923 ) ☹️.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer - would you consider upgrading the MarkDown lexer in BowPad?

Kind Regards Gavin Holt
