You should be able to do something like this (slight change to the GFM strikethrough extension in the markdown parser);
import {MarkdownConfig} from "lezer-markdown"
import {styleTags, tags} from "@codemirror/highlight"
const HighlightDelim = {resolve: "Highlight", mark: "Highlight"}
const Highlight: MarkdownConfig = {
defineNodes: ["Highlight", "HighlightMark"],
parseInline: [{
name: "Highlight",
parse(cx, next, pos) {
if (next != 61 /* '=' */ || cx.char(pos + 1) != 61) return -1
return cx.addDelimiter(HighlightDelim, pos, pos + 2, true, true)
},
after: "Emphasis"
}],
props: [
styleTags({
HighlightMark: tags.processingInstruction,
Highlight: tags.special(tags.strong)
})
]
}
And then add an extension like this to your editor:
markdown({
base: markdownLanguage,
extensions: [Highlight]
})
