Markdown
Markdown support is available natively in Zed.
- Tree Sitter: tree-sitter-markdown
- Language Server: N/A
Syntax Highlighting Code Blocks
Zed supports language-specific syntax highlighting of markdown code blocks by leveraging tree-sitter language grammars. All Zed supported languages, including those provided by official or community extensions, are available for use in markdown code blocks. All you need to do is provide a language name after the opening ``` code fence like so:
```python
import functools as ft
@ft.lru_cache(maxsize=500)
def fib(n):
return n if n < 2 else fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
```
Configuration
If you wish change the default language settings for Markdown files, perhaps to disable auto format on save or if your markdown relies upon trailing whitespace
being converted to <br />
you can add change these values in your settings.json
:
"languages": {
"Markdown": {
"remove_trailing_whitespace_on_save": true,
"format_on_save": "on"
}
},
