+" Status: This is the regex-based Vim 8 fallback. For Neovim users, the
+" tree-sitter-sisu grammar provides structural highlighting, folding and
+" textobjects with strictly better behaviour on nested markup, multi-line
+" footnotes, block bodies, and segmented headings; see
+"   sundry/editor-syntax-etc/nvim/README.md
+" Emacs 29+ users have an equivalent treesit-based mode at
+"   sundry/editor-syntax-etc/emacs/sisu-spine-ts-mode.el
+" This file remains the supported path for classic Vim, where tree-sitter
+" is not available without third-party plugins.
