Markdown Reflow

Manual prose reflow for Markdown and MDX in VS Code.

This extension adds a single command, Markdown Reflow: Reflow Prose, that wraps plain prose paragraphs to a configurable line length. It does not split words and intentionally avoids rewriting protected Markdown and MDX structures.

Behavior

• Reflows the current selection when a selection exists and markdownReflow.selectionOnlyWhenSelected is enabled.
• Reflows the full document when there is no selection.
• Wraps prose to 100 columns by default, or to the user-defined markdownReflow.maxLineLength value when set.
• Leaves these regions unchanged:
  • fenced code blocks
  • indented code blocks
  • ATX headings
  • blockquotes
  • tables
  • list items and list continuation blocks
  • frontmatter blocks
  • MDX import/export lines and export object blocks
  • JSX/HTML blocks

Settings

• markdownReflow.maxLineLength
• markdownReflow.languages
• markdownReflow.preserveListItems
• markdownReflow.selectionOnlyWhenSelected
