GFM Support (PLEASE) about markdown

[aidan-gibson]

Okay this was a silly issue to open, I see now this is based on Commonmark spec. Maybe move to GFM?? Or better yet, a totally new WYSIWYG solution à la Obsidian/Logseq/Typora? I love using Jetbrains IDEs but this is cringe.

There is GFM support, via GFMFlavourDescriptor. I also don't see any mention of highlight in the GFM spec https://github.github.com/gfm/

We support GFM via GFMFlavourDescriptor - it can be provided to the parser instance on creation.
Indeed, the GFM does not support such elements - you can check this by simply creating a Markdown gist here on GitHub.

If you need support for such feature, you can probably implement it the same way the org.intellij.markdown.flavours.gfm.StrikeThroughDelimiterParser is implemented.
