Table

Reveal source

The concealed elements near the cursor are auto-revealed.

To show all concealed elements, use the toggle button on the top-right. Alternatively, use the provided Ctrl+Shift+m shortcut. To reveal only the current line, toggle with Ctrl+Shift+space.

Performance

The extension intelligently parses only the visible text for large files and employs caching extensively. Entire rendering takes well under 100ms.

Vim bindings

The implementation uses the native editor instead of Custom UI. All extensions should work as expected including Neo Vim.

Spec compliant

The parser follows the Github Flavoured Markdown (thus Commonmark) spec. It prevents inconsistency with the formats exported with spec compliant renderers.

Known Issues

Bracket pair colorizers interfere with the rendering. If you use one, install the patched version which excludes the markdown files.
