Is there a way to highlight a custom element similar to emphasis in vscode?

When creating a plugin, that adds a custom element, similar to remark-ins.
Is there a way to implement it in a way the vscode extension will highlight it in some way. like the emphasis or strong?

That’s one of the main reasons not to constantly add random things to markdown, but instead benefit from either directives or MDX: other tools don’t understand things.

As for how to integrate with syntax highlighting, I think that has to do with VS Code itself. I believe TextMate grammars can indeed extend each other, but not exactly sure how.

I’m not sure how it should work yet, but I’m open to discussing this feature for https://github.com/remcohaszing/vscode-markdown-decorations.

Ok I'll open an issue there to to start a discussion :)
