Hi @bassamsdata, thank you for your recent work! I looked at README.md file from Nvim project and see:Namu treesitter working. On the other side, :Namu watchtower (symbols too) I get

markdown - simply test the Nvim's README.md if you can reproduce this error.

[bassamsdata]

Thanks! I just pushed a fix that should take care of it. The markdown preview still isn’t perfect when there’s some HTML/CSS mixed in, but I’ll sort that out a bit later.

It started to work on that file, so I no longer have to try to check which provider works and can use simply symbols, assuming no other errors.

Minor: on symbols view I get LSP (󰿘) icon when treesitter provider has been used.

[bassamsdata]

Glad to hear it’s working! As for the icon, I think I pulled it from Nerd Fonts, do you have version 3 installed?

I’ll probably switch to icons that won’t cause issues even if Nerd Fonts aren’t installed.

[przepompownia]

After upgrade NerdFonts I get correct icons for symbols. Previously I got the tree icon on treesitter subcmd, but not on symbols. It sounds strange and not reproducible, please ignore my comment.

Something that I miss when setting new options, and would be useful for multi-level config structure are Lua type annotations.
