More Info

md-preview

Live Markdown preview with tight editor sync. Open a .md file and the preview updates as you type, with bidirectional scroll sync between editor and preview.

Features

  • One-command open preview panel
  • Auto-refresh on edit
  • Scroll sync: editor -> preview and preview -> editor
  • Retains preview state when hidden

Usage

  2. Run command: Open Markdown Preview (md-preview.openPreview)
