Research direction

Investigate the babel plugin markdown codebase (likely in src/index.js) to understand current markdown processing. Review PrismJS documentation for integration patterns. The issue body shows a desired config syntax, but no details on how to implement. Look for any existing discussions or related issues. Contact maintainer (egoist) for clarity on expected implementation approach.
