Support ```js and ```ts as aliases for ```javascript and ```typescript

[CallumHoward]

Hopefully this might be the right level at which to solve this:

ghfmd seems to support js/ts as an abbreviation for javascript/typescript.

Example:

const a: string = "some highlighted ts code";

const a = "some highlighted js code";

In Neovim v0.9 with latest treesitter and parsers installed:

Would it be possible to add aliases so that ts and js in the code block language specifier may work?

That's a problem with neovim. The parser just tells neovim that the language is "ts" and neovim needs to figure out what parser to use. Maybe this functionality is already implemented, but I didn't find anything about it immediately. You should probably ask in https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

Yes, that should be implemented, and works for me:

Make sure your nvim-treesitter is fully updated.

(PR adding more common aliases to see https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/680807fa6a482c639119098bc48ca3831c66db13/lua/nvim-treesitter/query_predicates.lua#L10-L16 welcome).

Closing, as this is related to neovim and not this parser.
