I moved from Emacs to VSCode for almost one year, and I’m happy about my productivity.

Most of the time, I’m editing Markdown.

Let me share these five extensions which are useful for boosting your productivity on Markdown.

1. Markdown All in One

Markdown All in One is a must for editing Markdown. It contains Markdown preview, keyboard shortcuts, auto preview, and more.

The shortcuts will make editing Markdown much easy:

The completion also contains path finding:

We can print Markdown to HTML with the command: Markdown: Print current document to HTML.

Furthermore, it comes with beautiful Math support:

2. Dictionary Completion

Dictionary Completion is another extension to help you input English words quicker. Because I’m not a native English speaker, this helps me write words correctly:

Markdown does not support quick suggestions by default; we need to add the below snippet to make hints appear when type in a Markdown file:

"[markdown]": {
"editor.quickSuggestions": true
}

3. Paste Image

I love inserting more screenshots into my Markdown files. Paste Image helps me save my images from xclip. This extension supports Mac/Windows/Linux.

4. PlantUML
