No syntax highlighting in markdown files

[eguiraud]

Hello, I cannot get syntax highlighting for markdown files to work in Helix 23.10 although as far as I can tell from #399 and #215 it should work.

This is what I see when I open a markdown file. It is correctly recognized as markdown and tree-sitter features like go-to-references or go-to-symbol work, but no colors/highlighting of any sort. I'm on Arch Linux. I couldn't spot anything suspicious in the logs.

~ helix --health markdown
Configured language servers:
  ✓ marksman: /usr/bin/marksman
Configured debug adapter: None
Highlight queries: ✓
Textobject queries: ✘
Indent queries: ✘

Is that the nord theme? This may be #9131 which was fixed on master but isn't released yet

Wow, thank you, that's exactly it! It did not occur to me that the theme might disable syntax highlighting features.
