Rainbow Markdown

Rainbow-style column highlighting for Markdown tables in VS Code.

What This Extension Does

This extension colors Markdown table columns directly in the editor to make wide tables easier to read. It is visual-only: it never changes your file contents.

Features

• Works automatically in Markdown files
• Colors each table column (cell content and delimiter) with a distinct color
• Defaults to theme-friendly colors and can also be customized

Settings

rainbowMarkdown.colors

Controls the column color palette. You can use:

• Hex/CSS colors, for example #61AFEF
• Theme color references, for example $editor.foreground or $terminal.ansiBlue

If a table has more columns than colors, colors repeat cyclically.
