Office Viewer (Fork)
Forked from cweijan/vscode-office, maintained by RJ.Wang.
What's improved in this fork
- HTML export with embedded images — Local images are automatically converted to Base64 and embedded in the exported HTML file. Share a single
.html file with anyone, all images display correctly without external dependencies
- Smaller package size — Removed bundled Icon Theme and Java Decompiler (~4.4 MB saved), keeping the extension focused on office file viewing
- Mermaid upgraded from v8.8.0 to v11.14.0 — new diagram syntax now renders correctly
- Mermaid loaded locally instead of CDN, better offline support
- Replaced deprecated
markdown-it-mermaid with a lightweight built-in plugin
- Mermaid diagrams and document content aligned to left (instead of center)
- Removed dead code and fixed typos across the codebase

Markdown
This extension changes the default markdown editor to the vditor. Please note that this editor is no longer actively maintained.
If you want to use the original vscode editor, insert this in your settings.json.
{
"workbench.editorAssociations": {
"*.md": "default",
"*.markdown": "default"
}
}
Right-click in the editor to export markdown to PDF, DOCX or HTML. PDF export requires Chromium, configurable via vscode-office.chromiumPath.
When exporting to HTML, all local images are automatically embedded as Base64 — the exported file is fully self-contained and can be shared directly without losing any images.
