Extend the extended?

[wellzenon]

I would love for different colored highlights, like in ==...== I've been using r==...== for red but it's messy when you highlight words in the middle, or have more than 1 highlight in the line.

I've seen =={red}...== in the Obsidian Extended Markdown Syntax plugin, which is better.

It would be really useful to have this in neovim too, as Obsidian is a bit heavy...

Maybe a highlight tag system like Obsidian Extended Markdown Syntax plugin, where you define a tag and it's highlight? Or just some predefined new colors, like red, blue and a muted text (I use that a lot too)

• red could be ==!...==
• blue could be ==$...==
• muted could be ==%...==

Added support for this feature here: 10126ef

Nothing is configured out of the box, it's based on the text prefix inside the ==...==. For example if you want ==!...== to be highlighted with a red background you would do something like:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'Red', { bg = '#ff0000' })
require('render-markdown').setup({
    inline_highlight = {
        custom = {
            important = { prefix = '!', highlight = 'Red' },
        },
    },
})

It also supports the alternative syntax like if you want =={red}...== to be how you set things up then in the example above use prefix = '{red}' instead and it'll work.

You can re-use existing highlight groups from your colorscheme rather than creating custom ones, I create one in the example above for consistency.
