Neopolitan Tree-Sitter Parser, Syntax Highlighter, And Inline Code Runner
Head's up that this is still very much a "works on my machine" level project.
Introduciton
Neopolitan is the plain-text format I designed to manage website content. This page is the documentation for an accompaning tree-sitter plugin.
The plugin offers two features:
- syntax highlighting
- inline code block execution
Syntax Highlighting
Highlighting for the primary sections is in place. I don't use much highlighting for the core of the docs, but I've got code blocks set up to highlight properly for whatever language they are. Here's a sample:

Inline Code Block Execution
I've got a prototype Neovim plugin working that executes code blocks inside files and drops the output back into the file (similar to emacs org-mode). Here's what that looks like:
Usage
This code is still under initial development and I havent' looked up yet how to put things in place properly.
For now, I put the parser in place on my mac by editing:
~/Library/Application Support/tree-sitter/config.json
and add a "parsers-directories" array item that point to the local src tree (e.g.
/Users/alan/workshop/tree-sitter-neopolitan/src
For the plugin, I created a symbolic link in ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin
that points to the repos plugin/after/plugin/execute_code_block.lua
