Add support for Markdown

[ghost]

Is it possible to add markdown syntax highlight to the theme? that would be great

[karloluis]

What exactly would you like to see? There are no keywords, variables or functions in Markdown so it would be hard to get a sense of what the syntax would be working on.

@karloluis for example

which highlights the headline tags, quotes, italic and etc.

Okay now, THIS is sexy! Is this a plug-in for some other software? Maybe there is a language package in apm that sets the grammars for seti-ui to go through.

Atom somewhere recently added support for theming Markdown preview: https://github.com/atom/markdown-preview/pull/298

It's on my todo list, but will happily accept a PR is somebody wants to beat me to it :)

[luiscobot]

this is a better representation could be implemented

Oh. It is so cool to add the syntax for markdown!

Depending on the implementation it seems this would work for asciidoctor highlighting also: https://github.com/asciidoctor/atom-language-asciidoc/blob/master/styles/asciidoc.atom-text-editor.less Currently Seti is acceptable for Asciidoc editing, but not as awesome as it is for other source code highlighting. Therefore it would be great to see this Markdown support drop.

Any progress on this? Markdown preview is one of the best features in Atom, and having a good syntax for editing it in Seti would be nice.

Why not use https://atom.io/packages/language-markdown ?

I submitted a PR (#138) to improve markdown syntax colors with Seti Syntax. I also made it available as a gist: you can copy-paste it in your Atom styles.less file. It works with both language-markdown and language-gfm.
