Issues with highlighting, readability #321

Closed TheScrawl closed 4 years ago

TheScrawl commented 4 years ago

I'm having some trouble with how syntax is being highlighted. It appears that for some reason, lots of syntax is being highlighted with the same color as its written in, making it unreadable. Preferably, there would be no highlighting at all, and the symbols would be written in a nice color. My terminal (alacritty) has 16 colors set, and my vimrc is set with set t_Co=16 to make sure no colors other than these 16 colors are used. I'm not sure exactly what is going on thats causing this. I'm not using vim-pandoc and am using the workaround given, however I've tried installing vim-pandoc and this did not solve my issues. Setting different colorschemes almost works sometimes, but the symbols are still highlighted in a color thats rather unreadable. If needed I can provide any config files that may be helpful. 2020-04-08-163625_1920x1080_scrot

This plugin itself does not define the colors to be used ... at all. It just groups things into different keyword groups. It is the responsibility of the color scheme to define what colors these groups should be rendered as.

You need to find (or define) a color scheme with 16 color support that covers all the default VIM highlight groups available.

See also :help syntax and look under the "NAMING CONVENTIONS" heading. I think we define everything in Markdown in relation to one of those keywords. You can define or redefine the colors use, but that's not the job of this plugin.
