This looks great!

I'm currently using Material for MkDocs but was thinking of switching off it, in part due to the lack of options around having custom highlighting in code blocks (my docs website is for a programming language I am working on). What are Zensical's plans here? Tree sitter highlighting would be perfect in my case.

Zensical team here – right now it's still Python/Pygments under the hood, as we're using the same toolchain for rendering for compatibility reasons, but we'll be rethinking language support from the ground up, and tree sitter is something we're experimenting with. Ideally, we'll be able to unify code highlighting with language support with API reference docs.
