"Failed to run `config` for headlines.nvim", and unable to see any highlight using default config

I got the following error after installing headlines.nvim:

no parser for 'norg' language, see :help treesitter-parsers

do you have treesitter and the norg parser installed?

[hopezh]

Yes, I solved the norg related issue by installing norg in treesitter. I also have markdown installed in treesitter, as shown below by running :TSModuleInfor in neovim:

However, I still can't get the highlight to work, as shown in the config file below, even after I changed the guibg color for all three headers and code block to red(#ff0000). It seems. only Headline3 is affected.

Did I specify the colors for headers and code block correctly in the config file?

My modifed lazyvim config with headlines.nvim installed is shown here.

headlines.lua in the lua/plugins folder:

 return {
    "lukas-reineke/headlines.nvim",
    ft = "markdown",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    lazy = false,

        vim.cmd([[highlight Dash guibg=#ff0000 gui=bold]])
    end,

Ok, allow me to reply to myself.

I think I managed to make headlines.nvim work, and for both .md and .qmd files, as shown in this post .

For normal markdown .md file:

For quarto .qmd file:

My updated /lua/plugins/headlines.lua config is shown here.

Note that the colors for headlines and code block are defined in the /lua/config/options.lua file, rather than inside the headlines.nvim file.
