Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform. Markdown Preview VS Code supports Markdown files out of the box. You just start writing Markdown text, save the file with the.md extension and then you can toggle the visualization of the editor between the code and the preview of the Markdown file; obviously, you can also open an existing Markdown file and start working with it.

[[wiki-links]]
A popular feature in Roam Research and Bear is the ability to quickly reference other notes using 'Cross-Note Links' in the [[wiki-link]]
style.
Markdown Notes provides syntax highlighting, auto-complete, Go to Definition (editor.action.revealDefinition
), and Peek Definition (editor.action.peekDefinition
) support for wiki-links to notes in a workspace.
By default, the extension assumes each markdown file in a workspace has a unique name, so that note.md
will resolve to the file with this name, regardless of whether or not this file exists in any subdirectory path. This tends to be a bit cleaner, but if you want support for multiple files with the same name, in settings.json
set 'vscodeMarkdownNotes.workspaceFilenameConvention': 'relativePaths'
, and you'll get completions like note1/note.md
and ../note2/note.md
.
You can configure piped wiki-link syntax to use either [[file|description]]
, or [[description|file]]
format (to show pretty titles instead of filenames in your rendered HTML).
#tags
Syntax highlighting for #tags
.
@bibtex-citations
Use pandoc-style citations in your notes (eg @author_title_year
) to get syntax highlighting, autocompletion and go to definition, if you setup a global BibTeX file with your references.
New Note Command
Provides a command for quickly creating a new note.
You can bind this to a keyboard shortcut by adding to your keybindings.json
:
NB: there is also a command vscodeMarkdownNotes.newNoteFromSelection
which will 'cut' the selected text from the current document, prompt for a note name, create a new note with that name, and insert the new text into that note.

TODO
- Provide better support for ignore patterns, eg, don't complete
file.md
if it is withinignored_dir/
- Add option to complete files without extension, to
[[file]]
vsfile.md
- Should we support links to headings? eg,
file.md#heading-text
?
