Blockquotes Styling #10660

[X] Completed

Describe the feature

I would like to be able to syntax highlight blockquotes in markup languages, both for themes and language extensions. This requires two things:

Language extensions, including Zed's markdown builtin, need to expose a key for blockquotes so that themes can use it. Currently, markdown doesn't do this.
Themes need to use this key to style them. None of the default themes have this yet, afaik.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Bringing my comment over from discord:

so this more or less just works – there are some extra cases that need to be handled also the treesitter query breaks a bit with nested elements This green > is being captured as a block_quote_marker nested inside of the atx_heading, which is incorrect.

If someone wants to dig into all the cases that need to be captured to style block quotes be my guest, otherwise I'll see if I can pick it up tomorrow or when I have some time.

I was just grabbing text from here: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#blockquotes-1

This is the basic query I started:

;; crates/languages/src/markdown/highlights.scm
;; ...

(block_quote
  (block_quote_marker) @punctuation.block_quote_marker
  (paragraph) @text.block_quote
)

;; ...
