VSC Markdown Formatter

Keyboard shortcuts and formatting commands for Markdown editing in VS Code.

Features

All shortcuts toggle: applying the same shortcut to already-formatted text removes the formatting. Bold and italic stack: applying italic to bold text (or vice versa) produces ***bold italic***, and each can be removed independently.

Install

From the VS Code Marketplace (recommended): Search for markdown-formatter-vsc-extension in the Extensions panel, or install from the Marketplace.

From VSIX:

1. Download the .vsix file from build/
2. In VS Code: Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX…
3. Select the file and reload

Or via terminal:

code --install-extension build/markdown-formatter-vsc-extension-1.1.2.vsix

Development

npm install           # install dependencies
npm run build         # compile TypeScript and build the .vsix
npm run compile       # compile TypeScript
npm run watch         # watch and recompile on change
npm test              # run tests
npm run package       # alias for npm run build

Note: npm run build uses scripts/build.js instead of calling vsce directly. This works around a Windows limitation where & in the project path breaks npm script shell resolution.
