Markdown syntax highlighting bug with task list items?

[rodrigobarnes]

Hi

I’m using ST4 (4107) and a small change in Markdown syntax highlighting from ST3 seems to be how task list items are highlighted. These are lines that start “- [ ] Task item”. Previously there was no special highlighting and the items were displayed as generic list items. Now the brackets are displayed in red and italicised which I find jarring. I make heavy use of these day to day and would like to switch off the highlighting.

I had a quick trawl through the standard Markdown syntax but can’t see an obvious source for this issue. What configuration can I apply to change the styling?

Thanks
Rodrigo

Based on your description, it’s not a syntax highlighting bug, but merely because the default color scheme has changed in ST4. It was Monokai earlier in ST3 which is now changed to Mariana.

Previously there was no special highlighting and the items were displayed as generic list items.

This is the Monokai scheme

Now the brackets are displayed in red and italicised which I find jarring.

This is the Mariana scheme.

You can simple use UI: Select Color Scheme from the command palette and choose Monokai to go back to the other scheme.
