Tian Markdown Preview Style

A VS Code extension that applies markdown.css globally to VS Code's built-in Markdown preview and adds ==highlighted text== syntax.

Use double equals to highlight text:

This is ==highlighted== text.

The preview renders it as a styled <mark> element.

Install from the Marketplace

After publication, install it with:

code --install-extension TianZuo.tian-markdown-preview-style

Reload VS Code after installing or updating the extension. Open a new Markdown preview after updating so the parser plugin is loaded.

The stylesheet is contributed through markdown.previewStyles, so it works with the native Markdown preview and does not require markdown.styles in user settings.

Publish

Requires a Visual Studio Marketplace publisher account and Personal Access Token:

npx @vscode/vsce login <publisher-id>
npx @vscode/vsce publish

The Marketplace publisher ID is TianZuo. The extension ID is TianZuo.tian-markdown-preview-style.
