Markdown

Markdown support is available natively in Gram.

• Tree-sitter: tree-sitter-markdown
• Language Server: N/A

Syntax Highlighting Code Blocks

Gram supports language-specific syntax highlighting of markdown code blocks by leveraging tree-sitter language grammars. All Gram supported languages, including those provided by official or community extensions, are available for use in markdown code blocks. All you need to do is provide a language name after the opening ``` code fence like so:

```python
import functools as ft

@ft.lru_cache(maxsize=500)
def fib(n):
    return n if n < 2 else fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
```

Configuration

Format

Gram supports using Prettier to automatically re-format Markdown documents. You can trigger this manually via the editor::Format action or via the {#kb editor::Format} keyboard shortcut. Alternately, you can automatically format by enabling format_on_save in your settings.json:

  "languages": {
    "Markdown": {
      "format_on_save": "on"
    }
  },

Trailing Whitespace

By default Gram will remove trailing whitespace on save. If you rely on invisible trailing whitespace being converted to <br /> in Markdown files you can disable this behavior with:

  "languages": {
    "Markdown": {
      "remove_trailing_whitespace_on_save": false
    }
  },
