syntax highlight for markdown code block

[laoshaw]

I like the way bat highlight most file types, markdown is one of the most commonly used and if bat supports highlighting of its code block that will be great.

That should work out of the box. Have you seen the first screenshot in the README?

Yes there are some highlighting, it looks much bare-bone comparing to the original code though, actually too bare-bone.

cp test.py test.md
vi test.md to make it surrounded by python code block tags, ```python ```
bat test.py -- nicely highlighted
bat test.md -- barely highlighted

You are right. That's actually a regression in bat 0.13.0. It used to work fine before.

Edit: This was broken in 65023a9

And this is the commit that broke the Markdown syntax for us: sublimehq/Packages@c08f853

Temporarily fixed by patching the Markdown syntax.

Fix released in v0.15.1

Bug persists at compile from source.
Tested on a md file with js and clj . The clj part is not highlighted.
p.d. Thank you for bat

@rayntriton That is a separate issue. Maybe related to #2084
