global "editor.wordWrap": "off": doesn't work for markdown files

[YawKar]

Type: Bug

If I set "editor.wordWrap": "off" globally in my Code/User/settings.json file, markdown files will still word wrapping. However, if I set "[markdown]": { "editor.wordWrap": "off" }, markdown files will not word wrapping.

It seems like global setting from User's settings.json (which is the only one I always hack) don't advance to the level of Markdown editor?

Btw, here is devcontainer that I used (if it'll somehow help):

{
    "name": "Ubuntu",
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:jammy",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/go:1": {}
    }
}

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62127203/vscode-word-wrap-for-markdown-not-working

Markdown provides a language specific setting for word wrap by default:

[boltex]

@mjbvz Sorry if it's inappropriate to ask this here: but as an extension developer, I wonder how do I define this for a new 'documentation' language my extension defines? (to have wrap by default, like markdown) I've looked at the vscode api for defining languages, but I see no way of setting 'wrap' on by default like the markdown language does.

Thanks! :D

@mjbvz could it be that these "default language specific settings" override multiple language settings, like in:

  "[markdown][typst]": {
    "editor.wordWrap": "bounded",
    "editor.tabSize": 4,
    "editor.lineNumbers": "off",
    "editor.rulers": [],
  },

The two last options are set, tabSize only for markdown, and the first one for none of them. I have to set the options individually for each language. Maybe I should file an issue for this, I don't think this behavior is convenient or intuitive.
