Wikidown Wiki Project

Surface your Wikidown docs/ wiki folder directly in Visual Studio's Solution Explorer — without it participating in the build.

Features

• Adds a Wikidown project type (.wikidownproj) to Visual Studio 2022+.
• Recursively shows all .md pages and .order files under your configured wiki root.
• Double-clicking a .md file opens it in VS's built-in markdown editor.
• The project node never appears in Build / Rebuild / Clean — it is display-only.

Getting started

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace (or double-click the .vsix).
2. In your solution, choose Add → New Project, search for Wikidown, and select Wikidown Wiki.
3. Name the project (default: wiki) and place it alongside your .sln file, then click Create.
   A wiki.wikidownproj file is created and the docs/ folder appears under the new project node.
4. Double-click any .md file in Solution Explorer to open it in VS's built-in markdown editor.

Configuring the wiki root

Edit wiki.wikidownproj to point to a different folder:

<WikidownProject>
  <WikiRoot>my-wiki</WikiRoot>   <!-- relative to the .wikidownproj file -->
</WikidownProject>

Project type GUID

If you are adding the project to a .sln manually:

Project("{6a9c3f4b-d5e8-4f0a-b1c2-345678901bcd}") = "wiki", "wiki.wikidownproj", "{<new-guid>}"
EndProject
