ACV Markdown Editor

A WYSIWYG markdown editor for VS Code. Edit .md files visually with a rich text interface — no raw markdown required.

Features

• WYSIWYG editing — format text with a toolbar (bold, italic, headings, lists, links, code blocks, and more)
• Raw markdown mode — switch to a plain-text CodeMirror editor at any time
• Round-trip fidelity — markdown is parsed and serialized faithfully; your formatting is preserved
• Custom editor — opens automatically for .md files; integrates with VS Code's dirty-state and save system

Usage

1. Open any .md file in VS Code
2. Right-click the file → Open With ACV Markdown Editor (or set it as the default editor for .md files)
3. Use the toolbar to format content visually, or click the Raw toggle to edit markdown directly

Setting as Default Editor

To always open .md files with this editor, add the following to your settings.json:

"workbench.editorAssociations": {
  "*.md": "acv.markdownEditor"
}

Requirements

VS Code 1.80 or later.
