simple-wikilinks

Minimal VS Code extension: syntax highlighting and go-to-definition for [[wiki links]] in Markdown. No autocomplete, no workspace scanning, no file creation, no dependencies.

Syntax

[[path]]  [[path#heading]]  [[path|display]]  [[path#heading|display]]  [[#heading]]

• Paths are workspace-root relative and extensionless (.md is appended); a path that already has a file extension is resolved as-is (e.g. kb/assets/map.png).
• If no workspace-root match exists, the path is tried relative to the linking file's directory.
• #heading jumps to the first heading whose GitHub-style slug matches (duplicates get -1, -2, … suffixes); [[#heading]] targets the current file.
• |display text is ignored for navigation.
• Links inside fenced code blocks or inline code spans are ignored (for both highlighting and navigation).

Keys

• Ctrl+Click / F12 — go to the target (fails with "No definition found" when the target is missing)
• Alt+F12 — peek preview
• Hover — shows the resolved target and whether it / its anchor exists
