Updating the version of tree-sitter-markdown in languages.toml to the latest commit helps with this issue, so that might tide things over for now. It doesn't completely fix it though, there's some weirdness caused by escape sequences for example, so more work is still needed there.

@Chickenkeeper Thanks for your help! Updating to the latest commit does improve things, but I am not sure if the queries also need updating? I don't know much about Treesitter.

I have opened an issue tree-sitter-grammars/tree-sitter-markdown#62, please add any more weirdness caused by escape sequences or extra details you can think of. Cheers!

[Chickenkeeper]

@David-Else Ha, will do. I've looked at the queries and nothing immediately stood out, but it might take a bit of experimenting.

[MDeiml]

Updating to the latest commit helped, because I added support for tables. The queries should be fine. You would only need to change them if you wanted some special highlighting for tables.

Other problems (like thos discussed in tree-sitter-grammars/tree-sitter-markdown#62) might be problems with the parser, so feel free to report them there.

I added a nice new fix so most of what is talked about here works now. I'll make a PR to update the grammar.

Brilliant, it is fixed :)
