Quick Start with Observable JavaScript | Markdown

1. Create a new file with either the .ojs or .omd extension (optional).
2. Open this file in a VSCode editor instance (optional).
3. Select "OJS: Import Notebook" from command palette.
4. Enter https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/a-taste-of-observable for the import URL.
5. Press Ctrl+K V to preview notebook.
6. Select "OJS: Export to HTML" from the command palette.
7. Double click the exported HTML file to view in browser (Note: You may need to host the file on a webserver if it is importing other libraries).

Commands

All commands are prefixed with "OJS" and are available via the command palette or by default shortcut key mappings

Settings
