VS Code Markdown Styles

Version Installs

This VS Code extension adjusts the styles of the markdown preview.

Copy button demo

Features

  • Adds copy buttons to fenced code blocks.
  • Adds margin and padding to blockquotes.
  • Adds borders to tables.
  • Sets a max-width for easier reading.
  • Renders task list checkboxes (- [ ] and - [x]). Clicking one updates the markdown file in the editor (the file is not saved).

Checkboxes

The first time you click a checkbox, VS Code asks whether to allow this extension to open a URI. Check "Do not ask me again for this extension" to skip the prompt from then on.

Other extensions that render markdown checkboxes will clash with this one, so disable them to use these checkboxes.
