[Feature Request] Better markdown syntax highlighting

[omern1]

The markdown syntax highlighting for code blocks should highlight the code inside the code block as per the language it is written in.

I tried this already with a very long markdown.yaml file and it crashes Micro. I told zyedidia & he mentioned something about using the Discorse Literate plugin to do it, but I can't remember how. Search in Gitter for the conversation & you should find it.

This could be done if include allowed a regex capturing group. Based on the vue

  - default: 
      start: "```go"
      end: "```"
      rules:
          - include: "go"

  - default: 
      start: "```lua"
      end: "```"
      rules:
          - include: "lua"

  - default: 
      start: "```(.+?)" # capturing group
      end: "```"
      rules:
          - include: "$1" # reference capturing group

I came across a crash like this, and it was because i included markdown. The recursive inclusion gobbled up all my memory.
