Tree

Markdown Exec provides a tree formatter that can be used to render file-system trees easily:

```tree
root1
    file1
    dir1
        file
    dir2
        file1
        file2
    file2
    file3
root2
    file1
```

By default, the language used for syntax highlight is bash. It means you can add comments with #:

```tree
root1            # comment 1
    file1
    dir1
        file
    dir2
        file1    # comment 2
        file2    # comment 3
    file2
    file3
root2
    file1
```

You can change the syntax highlight language with the result option:

```tree result="javascript"
root1            // comment 1
    file1
    dir1
        file
    dir2
        file1    // comment 2
        file2    // comment 3
    file2
    file3
root2
    file1
```

You can force an entry to be displayed as a directory instead of a regular file by appending a trailing slash to the name:

```tree
root1
    dir1/
    dir2/
    dir3/
```

It is recommended to always append trailing slashes to directory anyway.

WARNING: Limitation: Spaces in file names are not supported when searching for a trailing slash.
