Terminal: foot, last version
Hi,
I wondered, since most temrinals (mine at least) can show bold and italics, if syntax elements could be shown as such in micro ?
Like, in markup syntax, having words meant to be bold actually show up bold, instead of in blue ?
These markups aren't only for fun, they're helpful in working. I don't code but I like using micro to write texts without this clunky Libreoffice.

Research direction
Start by tracing how micro renders markup syntax and how it detects terminal capabilities, using the reported foot terminal behavior as a reference. Done means supported markup elements such as bold and italics are displayed with terminal styling rather than only syntax-highlight colors.
