Version VS Code GitHub stars Last commit

Ghost Markdown is a focused Markdown viewer and editor for VS Code. Open a .md or .markdown file to edit its source beside a live rendered preview.

Features

  • Custom editor for Markdown files
  • Live preview with headings, links, code, lists, and blockquotes
  • Changes are written through VS Code's text document and undo system
  • Responsive layout for narrow editor splits

Use the Command Palette command Open Markdown with Ghost Markdown to reopen the active Markdown file in the custom editor.

Development

npm install
npm run compile

To bump the extension version and keep package-lock.json in sync:

npm run bump-version
npm run bump-version -- patch
npm run bump-version -- 1.2.3
npm run build-install-vsix

No argument makes a feature (minor) version bump.

Build and install the current VSIX with npm run build-install-vsix.

Press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host and open a Markdown file.
