Description

I can have the following.

```

## some text
```

words like `TODO`, `FIXME`, etc. are not highlighted. It'd be a cool feature to have.

Research direction

The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating MacDown's editor syntax-highlighting implementation and inspect how Markdown comments are tokenized; done means TODO and FIXME are visibly highlighted in comments without changing ordinary text rendering.
