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

When adding files to the chat buffer in codecompanion they look like this:

Describe the solution you'd like

I was wondering whether it was possible to replace the <file>...</file>, <buf>...</buf> and <url>...</url> with some fancy icons.

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can configure something like:

require('render-markdown').setup({
    html = {
        tag = {
            file = { icon = '󰨸 ', highlight = 'Normal' },
        },
    },
})

To modify the file tags.

You can do something similar for buf & url.

The value for icon and highlight can be whatever you want.

Hi @MeanderingProgrammer! Sorry for the terribly late reply. Mmm from what I reckon the codecompanion chat doesn't render those <file>...</file>, <buffer>.. </buffer> etc tags as html so your solution doesn't quite work (though it clearly is the the natural way of doing it). I guess a followup question/request would then be if it possible to add custom icons for a particular regex in a specific filetype. Something along the lines of:

overrides = {
    filetype = {
        codecompanion = {
            regex = {
                custom = {
                    file_tag = {
                        pattern = '<file_tag_regex>',
                        icon = 'some_icon ',
                        background = 'some_hl',
                    },
                },
            },
        },
    },
}

codecompanion doesn't need to do anything to have them be "rendered as html".

This just comes from treesitter, in particular support for injecting html for tags: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/master/queries/markdown_inline/injections.scm

The only thing you need to make this work is to have the html parser installed: :TSInstall html.
