I just updated to BBEdit 15.0 and quickly noticed a change in my markdown note files in that many words/phrases previously highlighted are no longer highlighted. For example, I use “tags” like [_ACTION_], [_WAITING_], [_QUESTION_], etc in my notes to call attention to action items, etc. These tags were quite visible with the default red coloring but with BBEdit 15, they are no longer colored. Yes, I know I’m abusing the markdown link syntax for even more visibility, especially when changing “[_ACTION_]" to “[DONE]”, but my tags aren’t links and it hasn’t seemed to cause any issues so far).
Apparently the following change is responsible: "Made a change to the Markdown color scanner, so that underscores that aren't immediately preceded by a whitespace character don't trigger coloring of an emphasized range. (This is not strictly in the letter of the Markdown specification, but is consistent with common usage.)” I discovered that this change also means that items delimited with underscores that happen to be at the start of a line (apparently not whitespace) are also not colored. 1. Is there an option to restore the previous coloring behavior? 2. Any suggestions on alternative methods of “tagging” items in my markdown files that both provide visibility via coloring but don’t run afoul of generic markdown rules?
