Always render backticks?

[LandonSchropp]

Is it possible to enable rendering for code blocks while still displaying the backticks? I like the formatting, but I don't love the concealed text. Thanks!

There is after this change: 7620d4e

You do need to configure several options:

require('render-markdown').setup({
    code = {
        conceal_delimiters = false,
        language = false,
        border = 'none',
    },
})

The first one remove the concealing behavior, the other 2 are needed to prevent the language heading / borders from being added since those both end up overlaying the backticks. The language heading / borders are a complete overlay, none of the text below them is actually being shown it's just copied into the extmark so there's no way to have those features and the backticks, but the code backgrounds will still work.

Wow, you're awesome! Thank you so much. 🙏

@MeanderingProgrammer Is there any way to accomplish this with thick borders? Maybe the original text could be rendered on top of them? I've tried setting a highlight for @markup.raw.block.markdown, but that only covers the backticks and language, not the whole line.

Not possible, at least with the current implementation

The thick border is constructed by creating a line made up of block characters, specifically "█".

In theory you'd need a character that's a full block with backticks cut out of it to make this work, but that would also end up making backticks along the entire width.

Gotcha, thanks!
