Adds :emoji: syntax support to VS Code's built-in Markdown preview

Features

This extension adds support for :emoji: syntax to VS Code's built-in markdown preview.

It extends these emoticons by providing the following list of additional marks:

Syntax Meaning
:.: Check not yet done
:V: Pass
:+: Pass with remarks
:X: Fail
:~: Not applicable

These are used when performing review by checklists, typically as follows:

Requirement ID PASS Complete Testable Compatible Unambiguous
REQ-1 :+: :V: :V: :V: :+:
REQ-2 :X: :V: :X: :~: :V:
REQ-3 :V: :V: :V: :~: :V:
REQ-4 :.: :.: :.: :.: :.:

:-)

which has the benefit of

  • clearly signaling red crosses and bells in the Markdown Preview, to show where work is needed;
  • having more options than a checkbox, which cannot capture the review pass/fail state;
  • be exactly equally long regardless of state;
  • does not break existing Markdown syntax.

This extension does not allow the box in the Markdown Preview to be clicked. Updating the box must be done in the editor.
