A language service for editing Markdown files.

This extension provides support for editing files that use the Markdown syntax.  In the current version, it supports the following features:

  • Syntax highlighting (for Markdown and HTML)
  • A live preview window of the file you are editing
  • A rudimentary margin with buttons for showing the preview window and copying the HTML-ized version of the file you are editing to the clipboard.

Here's a larger screenshot:
