Any thoughts on running the Svelte language server within a markdown codeblock? ```svelte ``` *.md files or even a specific extension such as *.mdsx. This was the cause of my biggest pain points when writing LayerChart/etc docs in md. cc: @rich-harris.dev @paolo.ricciuti.me @joshnuss.com

I love the authoring of experience of markdown for component docs, but always struggled with the following (especially within a Svelte/mdsvex environment) ❌ Code completion ❌ Type checking ❌ Masked errors ❌ Prettier formatting ❌ No quickfix (ex. imports) / highlight unused imports

It could be something to do with the Markdown language server Because I notice it doesn't handle other languages either, for example ```html ```

It's been a long time, but I thought React / MDX had this figured out, but through it's own extension. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... I do see this note about Prettier support (which is surprising).
