Wikidown Wiki Project

Surface your Wikidown / Azure DevOps Wiki docs/ folder directly in Visual Studio's Solution Explorer — without it participating in the build.

Features

• Adds a Wikidown project type (.wikidownproj) to Visual Studio 2022+.
• Recursively shows all .md pages and .order files under your configured wiki root.
• Double-clicking a .md file opens it in VS's built-in markdown editor.
• The project node never appears in Build / Rebuild / Clean — it is display-only.

Getting started

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
2. In your solution, choose Add → New Project → Wikidown Wiki.
   A wiki.wikidownproj file is created alongside your .sln.
3. The docs/ folder is now visible in Solution Explorer under the wiki node.

Configuring the wiki root

Edit wiki.wikidownproj to point to a different folder:

<WikidownProject>
  <WikiRoot>my-wiki</WikiRoot>   <!-- relative to the .wikidownproj file -->
</WikidownProject>

Project type GUID

If you are adding the project to a .sln manually:

Project("{6a9c3f4b-d5e8-4f0a-b1c2-345678901bcd}") = "wiki", "wiki.wikidownproj", "{<new-guid>}"
EndProject
