Markdown Docs: Your Ultimate Markdown Companion
Transform your Markdown workflow with Markdown Docs, a powerful VS Code extension designed for a seamless and intuitive document review and commenting experience.
Whether you're collaborating with AI, taking personal notes, or working with a team, Markdown Docs provides the tools you need to streamline your process and focus on what matters most: your content.

A WYSIWYG Editor That Works for You
At the heart of Markdown Docs is a state-of-the-art What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor, powered by the acclaimed MDX Editor. This means you can say goodbye to constant context switching between raw Markdown and a preview pane. With Markdown Docs, you write and format your documents in a single, beautiful interface.
Our intuitive toolbar puts all the essential formatting tools at your fingertips:
- Text Styling: Undo, Redo, Bold, Italic, Underline, and various font styles.
- Lists: Create ordered, unordered, and check lists with ease.
- Content Blocks: Insert links and tables effortlessly.
- Search: A powerful, highlighted search capability to find what you need, when you need it.
- Customization: Change the display font within the editor to suit your preferences.
Markdown Docs redefines the review process with its intuitive and powerful commenting system.
- Two-Way Sync: Click on a comment in the sidebar to instantly jump to the corresponding text in the editor, and vice-versa. This creates a seamless feedback loop that keeps you in flow.
- Flexible Layout: The comments side panel is both collapsible and resizable, allowing you to customize your workspace for optimal productivity.
Use Cases
AI Collaboration
