With neovim and treesitter installed, you can set the syntax highlighting for a language inside another language.
For example, for command_literals
, you can make the language "bash"
and you’ll get syntax highlighting (before and after screenshots below):
I’ve added this feature to kdheepak/ts-julia-actions
. You can add the same manually to your local configuration or with the lazy.nvim
package manager you can do the following:
return {
"kdheepak/ts-julia-actions",
dependencies = {
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
build = ":TSUpdate",
config = function()
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
ensure_installed = { "julia" },
}
end,
},
}

Is it possible to get syntax highlighting of the markdown in docstrings using this?

Oh, fantastic! I clearly need to revisit my nvim treesitter configuration, haven’t used it in well over a year. Thank you for your great work on this @kdheepak !

I asked the same thing on slack and in my case I just had to make sure the markdown parser was installed too.
