BoringLi Markdown Studio

A Delphi-friendly WYSIWYG Markdown editor for Visual Studio Code. Edit rendered Markdown directly while keeping the file on disk portable and diff-friendly.

Independent community fork: this extension is based on Orca MD Editor by hungvu. It is maintained by BoringLi and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original author.

Highlights

• Visual editing for headings, lists, task lists, blockquotes, tables, links, images, code blocks, math, Mermaid, and PlantUML.
• Delphi is the default fenced-code language, with syntax highlighting for delphi, pascal, pas, dpr, and dfm.
• KaTeX math supports $...$, $$...$$, \(...\), and \[...\], including common doubled-backslash output from AI/JSON text.
• Typora-like centered writing width, modest side padding, and compact nested-list indentation.
• A small H1–H6 badge appears on the active heading.
• Ctrl/Cmd+1–Ctrl/Cmd+6 applies heading levels; Ctrl/Cmd+0 returns to a paragraph.
• Project-wide search, table of contents, reading/focus modes, line mapping, and review comments.

Use

Open a Markdown file and choose Open With... > BoringLi Markdown Studio, or run Markdown: Open BoringLi Markdown Studio from the Command Palette.

The extension registers its own boringliMarkdown.* commands, settings, comment controller, and custom-editor view type so it does not claim the original extension's identity.

Compatibility note

Review comments continue to use the original .orca-comments.jsonl sidecar format so existing comment data remains readable. This is a document-format compatibility choice, not an extension identity or endorsement claim.
