Syntax highlighting

All fonts can be changed in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors dialog.

GitHub and other flavors

Advanced markdown extensions are supported to give more features to the syntax. This includes pipe tables, emoji, mathematics and a lot more.

Live Preview Window

The preview window opens up on the right side of the document when it opens.

Every time the markdown document is modified, the preview window will update.

Any code blocks receives full syntax highlighting in the preview window. Here's an example of JavaScript code rendered.

The preview window is automatically scrolled to match the scroll position of the document. As the document is scrolled up and down, the preview window will follow.

Live preview can be disabled in the settings.

The syntax highlighter is powered by Prism

Custom stylesheets

The preview window supports loading of custom stylesheets. It will look for a file called md-styles.css in the same directory as the currently opened markdown file or any parent directory.

If no md-styles.css file is found it will look for it in %userprofile%. If it still isn't found it will use the built in stylesheet.

To generate a custom stylesheet, simply right-click inside the markdown editor document and select Add Custom Stylesheet...

The name of the custom stylesheet can be changed in the settings.

Drag 'n drop images

Drag an image directly from Solution Explorer onto the document to insert the appropriate markdown that will render the image.

Paste images

This is really helpful for copying images from a browser or for inserting screen shots. Simply copy an image into the clipboard and paste it directly into the document. This will prompt you for a file name relative to the document and then it inserts the appropriate markdown.

It will even parse the file name and make a friendly name to use for the alt text.

Outlining

Any fenced code and HTML blocks can be collapsed, so that this:

...can be collapsed into this:

Markdown Editor For Linux

Ctrl+K,C wraps the selection with HTML comments.

Ctrl+K,U removes HTML comments surrounding the selection/caret.

Ctrl+PgUp moves caret to previous heading

Ctrl+PgDown moves caret to next heading

Light Bulbs

Markdown Editor Github

The suggested actions shown in light bulbs makes it easier to perform common tasks.

Auto-generate HTML files

Markdown Editor Npm

By right-clicking any Markdown file in Solution Explorer, you can turn on automatic generation of a HTML file.

It will wrap the output rendered markdown in a HTML template that looks like this:

You can provide your own HTML template by dropping a file with the name md-template.html in the same or parent folder to the markdown file. Just make sure to include the [title] and [content] tokens in the template.
