Markdown missing header mark highlights about nvim-treesitter HOT 8 CLOSED

Deliberate. The capture names and highlight groups were standardized, which meant that the markers are no longer given a separate capture. If you want them, revert to the latest tagged commit, or re-add them in you personal config.

Why the difference between headers marks and e.g. list markers?

from nvim-treesitter.

Because 1. list markers don't get a special highlight group and 2. you don't typically highlight list entries, so only list markers need a highlight.

OK. From my user point of view, this seems like a regression, but as you pointed out, I could re-add them in my personal config.

Thanks for the explanation.

from nvim-treesitter.

It is a regression, but necessary (and justifiable) for maintainability.

What is the long-term plan regarding this? Will some of the removed capture names (i.e. those that didn't get a replacement, like @text.title.*.marker.markdown) eventually be added upstream? Or is it expected that users solve this on their own, maybe through the emergence of new plugins that provide additional capture names and highlight groups for certain languages?

You are welcome to add your own queries. There is no plan to change this, either here or in Neovim.
