The power of VS Code

Rafal Pienkowski on December 11, 2017

I want to start with a couple of questions... Are you using VS Code editor? Are you writing articles to dev.to? Or are you documenting your work...

I write most of my technical documentation and other GitHub related things in VS Code. I know it has built-in markdown support but I have a few markdown plugins to help with tables and autocomplete. Great article Rafal!

Yep! Markdown All-in-One, Markdown TOC, and Table Formatter.

These are just a few of the markdown utilities but these are the ones I most need.

Gee, thanks for the tip, I was just searching for a nice md editor with live preview for my github project. Definitely worth exploring.

Oh and btw, mandarins are delicious indeed

True. Mandarins are delicious,eating them is healthy and as in my case they can be useful.

Excellent mr Rafał. I was looking for something like this for a long time. Markdown support for N++ is OK, but the live preview that follows scrolling is cool! Thanks

Thanks for the tip.

And for anyone who is not into learning more keyboard shortcuts, you can also open it from the "command palette" (by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and typing "mark...")

Good point.

Here is cheatsheet which I'm using. It could help too.

Hey thanks for the tip. Little bit off topic : Can anyone suggest a good FTP file browser plugin for VC.?

There's probably a better one out there, but this is the one I've used: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
