Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can assist me. I use BBEdit as a Markdown editor for writing long-form documents.

Is there a way to customize the color of the text that follows a Markdown heading hashtag in BBEdit? I've found that I can change the color of the '#' symbol by going to `Settings > Text Colors` and then altering the color of 'Keywords' under the 'Markdown' specific settings. Unfortunately, the text following the hashtag maintains the color assigned to 'Plain Text' under the 'General' Text Colors setting.

I would prefer for both the hashtag and the heading text to be of the same color to improve visibility. Does anyone have a workaround or suggestion for this?

Thanks.

I've been trying to do this for ages - adjustments to the colour scheme xml just don't work - wish it was defined by a css file using the good old TM scopes.

What you've got here, i.e. wanting to modify an intrinsic
language's syntax coloring behavior, is a feature request and
there's an app^H^Hemail address for that:
