Editing Markdown

.md and .markdown files get syntax highlighting, folding, and IntelliSense for links and workspace paths. Formatters and table helpers are available from the Command Palette when you need structure cleanup.

Preview

Markdown: Open Preview (or Open Preview to the Side) renders the document as you edit. Sync scrolling keeps the preview near the section you're writing.

Links and images

Workspace-relative links and image paths are validated when possible — broken relative paths show up as warnings so README images don't silently 404 after a move.

Diagrams and extras

Extra preview features (math, Mermaid diagrams, and similar) ship as bundled or optional extensions. Install from Open VSX if you need more than the core Markdown experience.
