Research direction
This issue reports unstable Markdown+HTML highlighting, possibly due to comments. The linked screenshot and file (https://github.com/Himura2la/resolve/blob/4c4dc76ac94b53f3136e5fcbcb8fe8fa7f806121/new readme.md) show the problem. Additionally, there are 'No grammar found for language: markdown' messages (related to #1940). To resolve, investigate the TextMate grammar for Markdown in Oni, particularly how comments and embedded HTML are handled. Check the relevant source files for Markdown syntax definitions and see if there's a missing or broken grammar rule. The issue is old and has no recent activity, so the codebase may have changed; consider verifying if the bug still exists in the current version.
