Markdown syntax is not highlighted properly

[jsynowiec]

Only a part of blueprint/makrdown/mson syntax is highlighted. It's usable but complete syntax support would be great.

Theme: Default Dark+
VS Code 1.4.0
API Elements 0.2.0

Absolutely!

Thing is - current Syntax Highlight definition file is abandoned and "old". Probably there are also some missing edge cases.

I'm not expert into those but nevertheless I feel I should work on it.
I'll keep you posted!

It seems to be better highlighted in the screenshot shown in README.md than how it actually renders in the editor. Did something deprecate along the way?

@mirague I do not think so, I haven't been changing it for a while.

Would you be willing to share your document so I can have a look into?

@XVincentX Thank you for wanting to look into this, I appreciate your time.

Here's a gist of a snippet of our Blueprint:

Here's two images on how it renders on macOS in VSCode v1.15.1 and API Elements extensions v0.6.7:

As you can see, it's barely highlighting the syntax as it does in the Apiary web-editor for example.

Once again, I appreciate your effort.

Thanks - I'll try to have a look into during the following days!

Any status on this? I too am not seeing much syntax coloring. Things like headers are just the same color, which is odd, since the screenshots on the README.md page shows colored headers.

Hey,

unfortunately I've been able to work on this project.

First of all, I didn't see a lot of traction on it (neither Apiary was that interested in it to be honest), and more importantly I left Apiary. That's killed any motivation to work on it.

I think it's worth resuming and revamping the extension but this is something I cannot do right now.

Contributions are welcomed — although I highly doubt anybody will put some time into this.

Cheers!
