Created extension pack here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bierner.github-markdown-preview
Be aware that the purple icon is now used for that extension pack while this extension now has a stylish rainbow variant of the logo:
Problem
This extension only changes the visual style of VS Code's markdown preview. However many users expect that this extension will provide other github flavored markdown features, such as rendering
:emoji:
or rendering the yaml frontmatter as a table. Extensions for these exist but must be installed separately.Proposal
I'm in favor or keeping this extension focused on doing one thing: styling the markdown preview. Having one feature per extension lets these features be enabled/disabled individually compared to a monolithic extension.
However most users just want to install a single extension that makes their markdown preview match what they see on github. Therefore, I propose creating a new extension tentatively called
Github Markdown Preview
that includes this extension plus all the other github related markdown preview extensions. These would be included usingextensionDependencies
, which would keep the individual extensions small and let them be installed individually if desired
