I have to agree that the removal of the old highlighter “way” - where the highlight colour was contextual to the theme and universal markdown highlight syntax - is a feature removal. The feature it’s been replaced with is a new, separate capability.

I appreciate the devs won’t change back now and are unlikely to include both functions… but there is loss.

So some of us are grieving.
