Typescript syntax highlighting in markdown

[matteematt]

Apologies if this isn't the correct place to raise this issue.

I am using this library via bat and I notice that typescript code isn't correctly highlighted in markdown files.

This issue has been raised on bat's repo here but from what I can tell the issue is here instead.

I have tried following bat's README to install a better syntax file such as from here https://github.com/SublimeText-Markdown/MarkdownEditing/tree/8bd921657d5fdc7b1aef8ec4e9542d3d941a72ab but it didn't seem to work (potentially because Markdown is already a language it's not picking up the new one)

Either way I think it makes sense that the typescript highlighting is supposed by default

Indeed, the plan is for this library to eventually use the latest syntax definitions from Sublime Text, which does correctly highlight Typescript inside Markdown. However, syntect currently lacks support for the latest sublime-syntax features to make this possible, namely:

• Support changes to sublime-syntax from Sublime Text Build 4075 #323
• sublime-syntax branch_point support #271
