How to activate render markdown automatically

@olimorris

It seems in your examples that you use render-markdown.
Can you share a couple of config with us? I mean, in my case I need to enter in the chat buffer and set ft=markdown so I get it working (despite the fact the cmp for /slash commands stop work)
Is there any extra config we need to do?
(I also already disabled header rendering as suggested in the documentation) but no success.

Hey @andtankian this is my setup with Lazy:

{
    "MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim", -- Make Markdown buffers look beautiful
    ft = { "markdown", "codecompanion" },
    opts = {
      render_modes = true, -- Render in ALL modes
      sign = {
        enabled = false, -- Turn off in the status column
      },
    },
  },

@olimorris sorry to comment on this old thread, but how did you highlight those variable #buffer and tool (@editor) sections as shown in the videos ?

[olimorris]

The plugin creates highlight groups. The theme I use tweaks them a little.

Yeah I was checking that in the docs however even with very minimal setup these don't seem to get highlighted for me.

  {
    "olimorris/codecompanion.nvim",
    enabled = true,
    opts = {},
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
      "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
      "ravitemer/codecompanion-history.nvim",
      {
        "MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim", -- Enhanced markdown rendering
        dependencies = { "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter", "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" },
        ft = { "markdown", "codecompanion" },
  },
}

[olimorris]

Yeah that looks correct. This isn't related to render-markdown at all btw

If someone else stumbles upon the same problem:
It seems like the latest version of render-markdown uses the file_types key now instead of ft.
