I've been having trouble getting syntax highlighting to work on my '```' fenced code blocks. I give it the right/supported language identifier, but nothing changes.

I'm using neovim with a bunch of lsp plugins and treesitter. Anyone have dotfiles with markdown code syntax highlighting working?

Are u using Mason and LSPconfig?

edit: Oh, I don't know that getting syntax highlighting in the blocks is something i've seen

Have you installed the treeesitter grammars for those languages with :TSInstall language_name or in your treesitter config?

This is pretty much all that’s needed. The language in the block is identified via a name that follows the opening triple backtick. E.g.:

```python some carefully indented code ```
