Syntax highlight triple backticked (pre) sections

[mcandre]

Could we have vim-markdown highlight triple-backticked ( `) sections as PRE-formatted code blocks?

[lazyfrosch]

You mean the actual syntax highlighting of the code? That might be hard

[mcandre]

No, haha. Just highlight all text inside the backticks as one uniform color.

[lazyfrosch]

Can you give a code example where it does not work?

[mcandre]

Sure!

None of the triple-backticked code sections in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcandre/cheatsheets/master/vim.md are highlighted.

I'm using Benokai for my color theme, in case that matters.

@mcandre I don't reproduce: to me they appear with the same color / syntax ID as inline code:

out `inline` in

Does your inline code highlight?

[mcandre]

No, my inline code does not highlight either. I'll bring Benokai into the conversation in case it's to blame.

[cirosantilli]

It looks like it's on Benokai.

More precisely, the syntax element is called mkdCode, and the line:

HtmlHiLink mkdCode          String

says that it looks like String, which is a standard Vim syntax element. So it this is the case, C-style strings like "adsf" in C code should not be highlighted either.

You could have found about mkdCode with:

    set laststatus=2
    set statusline=%{synIDattr(synID(line('.'),col('.'),1),'name')}

and hovering the cursor over the element.
