Support for markdown package

[kieran-mace]

Can you add support for the language-markdown package located here?

Hi @KMace, thanks for the post! I'll consider it. As always, anyone is free to contribute to this as well.

Thank you! I have no idea how to add support, but I'd be willing to help if I can get some guidance.

I'd like to reboot this. I love this theme, it's my favorite and the one I want to be using.
However, any function in R is blinking and it makes me sad. I'd fix it but I don't know how.

@sdrakulich can you please send me a sample R file where this happens? I will try to see why it is happening.

here is an example:

---
title: "R Notebook"
output: html_notebook
---

Simple example to show rmarkdown weirdness.

```{r}
library(dplyr)
library(downloader)
url <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/genomicsclass/dagdata/master/inst/extdata/msleep_ggplot2.csv"
filename <- "msleep_ggplot2.csv"
if (!file.exists(filename)) download(url,filename)
msleep <- read.csv("msleep_ggplot2.csv")
head(msleep)
sleepData <- select(msleep, name, sleep_total)
head(sleepData)
```

save that as example.Rmd

@KMace Unfortunately, this confirms my suspicions. Atom and/or the language-markdown does not seem to support syntax highlighting for R. It doesn't differentiate logic and, therefore, there is no way for my theme to style it. I actually tested this file with both default Atom themes: Atom Dark and One Dark (both UI & Syntax), and neither of them highlight your file any better than Nebula does.

@sdrakulich can you please provide me your sample file that highlights the blinking function? I was not able to reproduce it.

@tjkohli, you are correct, but if you also install the language-markdown here: https://github.com/burodepeper/language-markdown

you get the following:

language-markdown has support for different themes, with instructions listed here:
https://github.com/burodepeper/language-markdown/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#syntax-theme-support

@KMace I have had the language-markdown installed. Just installed minimal-syntax theme, and doesn't seem like it's highlighting your logic either. Perhaps there is something wrong with my Atom install.

Just to be clear, you have an issue with the error underlining in .Rmd, am I correct?
