Viability of supporting orgmode #106

Very cool indeed.

I'm wondering whether it would be viable to support other markup languages that have Treesitter grammars and similar types of entities.

In particular, I'm wondering whether it would be viable to support Orgmode.

The problem is that tree-sitter won't recognize nodes the same way.

Same text, completely different syntax.

So, you have to make a new parser function for org-mode.

Of course, it's not impossible. It's just that it takes a while to do(more so because I have used org-mode only once)

After messing around a bit I have noticed a few issues.

Mainly,

I can't seem to find what org modes are supposed to look like. For markdown it's simple adjust searching around is enough but org mode doesn't seem to have much of screenshot/previews to look at so I have no idea what different things are supposed to look like.
Org mode has a ton of features that markdown lacks so adding it to this plugin wouldn't work well. Basically it would have to be it's own plugin.
I am a bit busy at the moment so it's going to take a while (assuming I know what the preview should look like) to finish.

Thanks for looking into it. I've been looking at myself. Orgmode has built-in export-to-HTML functionality, so it's probably simpler for me to piggyback on that with a plugin-free solution.
