troubleshooting
the latest syntax fixed many bugs, but we can not update to that.
for example, fenced golang now support both go and golang, prev just support golang, but most people use go for that.
the latest version fixed the issue: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/blob/master/Markdown/Markdown.sublime-syntax
some issues:
-
syntect does not support sublime-syntax from Sublime Text Build 4075 see https://github.com/trishume/syntect/issues/323
-
sublimehq packages: Missing mandatory key in YAML file: match https://github.com/trishume/syntect/issues/461
-
zola: Investigate tree-sitter to replace syntect
Our syntect syntaxes are stuck on old versions of the grammars because of new features in the Sublime grammar format not supported by Syntect.
