   Numbers are allowed in tags, as long as a tag is not purely numeric. For
   example, #1984 is not a valid tag, but `#y1984` is.
 
+Note:~ 
+  For proper highlighting, the `install_syntax` option is set to `true` by
+  default. This automatically sets the syntax of filetype `markdown` to
+  `telekasten`, and also registers this syntax with telescope previewers for
+  `.md` files.
