**Describe the bug**
Markdown preview in VS code doesn't show syntax highligting. This may be a VS code issue or limitation, but opening that to track just the same. We do show highlighting inside the codeblocks in .md files, though.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in VS Code using the Markdown preview and the screenshot in the issue. Compare syntax highlighting in the preview with highlighting inside code blocks in .md files, then determine whether the behavior is actionable in Bicep or a VS Code limitation. Done means the limitation is documented or the preview behavior is fixed and verified.
