markdown syntax highlight seems not working correctly

[devstefancho]

🐛 Describe the bug

Hello, I have a problem with syntax highlighting In my case, Syntax highlight is not good. (poor readabillity 🥲) For example, I want to header to be another color (like orange) Is there any way to setup for this? I use treesitter and rose-pine colorscheme

obisidian.lua

return {
  "epwalsh/obsidian.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("obsidian").setup({
      dir = "~/iCloud/Documents/my-vault",
      daily_notes = {
        folder = "daily",
      },
    })
  end,
}

treesitter.lua

return {
  -- Syntax Highlighings
  {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    build = function()
      local ts_update = require("nvim-treesitter.install").update({ with_sync = true })
      ts_update()
    end,
  },
  "nvim-treesitter/playground",
}

treesitter config

local status, ts = pcall(require, "nvim-treesitter.configs")
if not status then
  return
end

-- How to Setup (https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#modules)
ts.setup({
  ensure_installed = {
    "lua",
    "tsx",
    "json",
    "css",
    "javascript",
    "typescript",
    "help",
    "vim",
    "markdown",
    "markdown_inline",
    "html",
    "graphql",
  },
  highlight = {
    enable = true,
    disable = {},
    additional_vim_regex_highlighting = { "markdown" },
  },
  indent = {
    enable = true,
    disable = {},
  },
  context_commentstring = {
    enable = true,
  },
  incremental_selection = {
    enable = true,
    keymaps = {
      init_selection = "<c-space>",
      node_incremental = "<c-space>",
      scope_incremental = "<c-s>",
      node_decremental = "grm",
    },
  },
})

rose-pine.lua (I think this maybe not the reason)

return {
    {
    "rose-pine/neovim",
    name = "rose-pine",
    config = function()
      vim.cmd("colorscheme rose-pine")
    end,
    -- cond = false,
  },
}

@devstefancho I updated neovim and treesitter yesterday and I ran into a similar issue. If you haven't already, first try :TSUpdate markdown markdown_inline. If that still doesn't work, make sure treesitter highlighting is actually enabled with :TSEnable highlight. This was the main issue for me even though my treesitter config has highlight.enable = true. So this must be a bug with treesitter. I ended up having to use an autocmd to force enabling highlight:

@epwalsh thanks for your suggestion I copied your tresitter.lua and update the commit hash like your lazy-lock But It still does not work.

Sadly 🥲 all highlight is gone (only available white color) Do you have syntax highlight for header1~4 ?

[epwalsh]

I should mention I'm also using nightly Neovim (upgraded yesterday). That might make a difference. treesitter recommends using nightly. I do get header syntax highlighting for 1-4.

[devstefancho]

I reinstall to nvim nightly (now I use NVIM v0.9.0-dev-1307+g75e1b1d5c-dirt) and after reinstall then try this step , but it didn't work

1. :Lazy clean nvim-treesitter
2. :Lazy install nvim-treesitter
3. :TSInstall markdown markdown_inline
4. :TSEnable highlight

(also try clean and install obsidian.nvim)

[devstefancho]

Hmm.. Maybe it is not related with obisidian nvim, because another markdown files which is not located in vault have no syntax highlight.

[epwalsh]

Yea I agree it’s probably a bug with treesitter or the markdown parsers. Alternatively you could try a non-treesitter markdown plugin for highlighting like vim-markdown.

@epwalsh Thanks to your continuous support, I'm finally done

This issue is not from obsidian, but it's my fault

1. Treesitter docs As you said, treesitter recommend to install nightly version of nvim

2. Colorscheme rose-pine theme probably does not support markdown fully, so I change to tokyonight theme after that, header1~4 is now highlighted

3. Treesitter installation info I should have checked the installation of javascript, typescript, tsx for markdown multiline code and single-line code when I checked :TSInstallInfo those languages are not installed, I don't know why those languages are not installed (which were included in ensured_installed), but after installing them manually, now all looks good :TSInstall markdown markdown_inline javascript typescript tsx css yaml

Awesome, I'm glad you figured it out!
