I've completed I think the most common markdown features and am 
installing it in the IDE. I did a search for JScript(another 
highlighter) to find the places in the IDE to modify.

The highlighter loads if I open a *.md file.

The default color I assigned in the source seem to be ignore but I was 
able to set new ones using Settings - Editor - Display  - Colors and 
selecting Markdown from the top.

I attached my changes to lazarus and also the new highlighter unit.
