feature: Different colors in Nested Quotes

[ABlueDruid]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Nested Quotes don't have different colors from the parent nested quote (It will be nice to have a feature like this).

And Also the parent quote inherit the color of the 2nd nested quote (2nd onwards there is no different color).

Here is what I said

Describe the solution you'd like

If nested quotes have different color while nested and does not affect the parent quote icon color it'll be nice (I guess).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I only use this for markdown rendering, hence I could not find any alternative what so ever.

Added support for this here: 7f75b16

Unsure if it's what you were looking for but nested colors should be handled a lot better for block quotes in general.

Please update and LMK what you think!

This is cool and good. But I was asking for something more (sorry for being kinda rude).

Here is what I think would be even better (Totally a personal opinion).

The Quote 0 is fine with what color text color it has (block --> Blue, text --> red).
But if the Q1 (in the reference picture) has a dimmer shade of the previous color (here block --> blue, text--> red). And Q2 has a little more dimmer color that Q1 it would be nice.
It will be more than enough to have this dim color support to Q3. And From Q4 to Q(n) the same dim color as Q3. (I don't think anybody does quote to More than 4 nesting.)

First I was thinking of having different color for all the nested blocks (i.e. Q0 blue, Q1 Pink, Q2 green), but that will be more distracting to look and other type of quotes has different colors ([!EXAMPLE] has kind of greenish teal color.) to look distinct.

And as the nested blocks are red in color that's why the labels like [!Bug] Can have the issue of having the same color throughout. But making the nested colors dim solves that problem (I guess).

Either way thank you for this feature. It looks more nicer than before.

I think I see what you're getting at but lmk if I'm not understanding something.

In the commit with this change I also enabled the quote.highlight value to be a list which gets indexed based on the nesting level of the block quote. This was pretty easy after figuring out how to link the icons to the associated callout.

Out of the box I still just set the single color but on your end you can create whatever highlight groups you like and set them in the configuration. Or you can use some rainbow highlights plugin, completely up to you. Would look something like:

{
    'MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim',
    dependencies = {
        'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter',
        'echasnovski/mini.nvim',
    },
    config = function()
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MarkdownQuote1', { fg = 'some-dark-red' })
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MarkdownQuote2', { fg = 'some-lighter-red' })
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MarkdownQuote3', { fg = 'some-other-red' })
        require('render-markdown').setup({
            quote = {
                highlight = {
                    'MarkdownQuote1',
                    'MarkdownQuote2',
                    'MarkdownQuote3',
                },
            },
        })
    end,
}

LMK if that's what you were looking for!

Yeah Done it. Looks Sick.
Thank You. Really Needed it.

Preview. (Don't mind the my terrible color choice, just arbitrary colors lol :) )

But you should consider making it default at least upto Nested Q3 in the upcoming releases.

There's not a good set of values to set out of the box, since it depends entirely on your colorscheme.

I did however make a change that'll let color scheme authors set this up out of the box here: 7051859.

So within each color scheme you can now set whatever values make sense for the highlight groups RenderMarkdownQuote1 -> RenderMarkdownQuote6 and it'll change the highlight of the marker at that level.

By default all of these still link to RenderMarkdownQuote, so if no custom values are set all of the levels will appear the same.
