Markdown Preview Readable Style

Styles to make the VS Code Markdown preview more readable.

Based on Matt Bierner's Markdown Preview Github Styling, but preserving the color choices of your theme.

It increases font size, limits text width, adds a background shadow to inline code, etc.

#todo: add screenshots of dark & light themes

I only made this extension because there's no way to set a Markdown Preview stylesheet at the user level, only at the workspace level. It's explained in this vscode issue.

Further improvements

This extension only styles the Markdown preview. There are other extensions that add support for Markdown features like :emoji: and - [ ] tasklists.

This extension pack is a good starting point to enable those.
