It's also god to have installed the markdownlint extension by David Anson, to ensure follow the good practices.

[@matthewstroh2]

THIS changes everything for me. I love taking notes in Sublime text but using Markdown will really open up the notes and make them readable and more powerful. Brilliant!

[@clickgg8109]

Frankly vs code studio won't cease to amaze me !!!! Thx alot for this channel vs code studio team ☺️

[@tesfeab.4418]

Thanks so much, you nailed it in a short video. I like the fact that your videos are very specific and short.

[@AmrutaRanade]

Thanks for the video! I'm a Technical Writer, and I use VSCode as my primary editor. The next time we have a new writer on the team, gonna refer them to this video to ramp up :)

[@taoli2635]

Same here. I am a tech writer and also use VS Code on a daily basis.

[@Zubbbz]

I'm so glad you guys took the comment from that short and made a video out of it :D you guys are amazing

[@DARSHAN1212]

I will use this flow for my Diary writing. Thanks 🙏 for the video

[@lakamson1]

I can't stop loving my VS code !!! Thank you ... Thank you ... Thank you.😄

[@JoseAntonioPucheRico]

I also use vscode for my tech documentations. One of my favorite extension is excalidraw to make diagrams easyly without leaving vscode.

[@Imaginativeone_DF]

Markdown with color-text would be awesome.

[@heguer87]

Great stuff, thanks for such an amazing video, highly appreciated, just subscribed as well.

[@elitehaxxor8025]

I love using VSCode for my notes, markdown is such a fast and easy language to make awesome notes in, accompanied with GitHub and Git you basically have your own cloud management for your notes and the ability to backtrack at any time. Kind of a no-brainer to use such a fantastic piece of software as an all-in-one solution.

[@HiiImChris]

OMG, you are amazing dude TYYY. I actuallyi always have 20 separate files per chapter for examples/practicing. I saw someone using these features and couldn't believe that for the last year I haven't known this :()

[@KarthiDreamr2]

I use Joplin for Markdown Notes , but this seems like an awesome idea 💡. Thank you

[@abdallahtanna7605]

So informative, thanks a lot!

[@sharathkumar9490]

This is a great video...thanks team

[@chadcrouch8995]

Thanks for this, definitely helped me🙂

[@dl1962]

Very useful feature, thank you!

[@PhotonCompute]

Thank you; very informative.

[@Biowitharnab]

Well I am definitely going to use it for documentation of my HTML CSS and JS files

[@player90nurken85]

I saw that in this video the code in the code chunk was wrapped in the preview mode, can someone please tell me how to make it so. In my markdown the code is just a super long 1 line and I need to scroll to see it whole in the preview.

[@weirdmelon5696]

Hiiii! I really love your videos!

[@opticpoet]

Man, that is great! I really appreciated the way you highlighted what you were referring to. That simple yellow box around whichever object you were referring to. So many of these videos the instructors go so fast and you have to back up, pause, etc. just to see / find what they're talking about. I was looking for something to take some notes in. I've used .MD just not much. I didn't even think about this. Also, GitDocs, WHAT? I've been doing it the long way around for so long! Great video!

[@YannMetalhead]

That's impressive, thank you for the tip.

[@33v4.]

I know everything he's talking about but I'm here for the ASMR thank u vscode

[@theunrealistictrillionaire1910]

Can we change font color and type in this .md text file

[@Julian-vs1tl]

Good stuff, thanks. Links or names of the recommendations in description would be nice.

[@LeoMerkel]

Great, tnx. Would you mind sharing the link to the githup repo? I couldn't find you on github.

[@jjophoven]

Can you use VS Code to run LEGO BOOST? Does ev3dev-browser VS Code extension work for LEGO BOOST?

[@MagicMoshroom]

Oh, nice.. didn't know you could pull images directly into the document.

[@user-ko1ur2fe2u]

nice explanation

05:44 "push every 30 seconds.." it's not like kinda ddos?

[@jorge1869]

Amazing!

[@abdelrahman5094]

now no need to keep jumping between obsidian and vscode, Thank you

[@TreeLuvBurdpu]

I've been using VS Code for documentation, including with code and data, since the first public beta. It's the best. You can create static websites from it with Hugo.

[@marcotroster8247]

Markdown is really great, but I'd like to see support for inline LaTeX formulas such that it facilitates my scientific work 😄

[@ticccco]

It actually does support inline LaTeX formulas! I use it everyday day for note taking 😁

[@marcotroster8247]

@@ticccco Oh cool, thanks. I'll try it out 😄

[@georgehammond867]

use dark reader man, i have that to and is very nice for the eyes. that white background is very bad.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

When I started using VSCode I thought “it’s a free program I guess I’ll get what I get” but honestly it’s probably my favorite IDE since like windows 95

[@ab.normal.]

Note: Use Ctrl+shift+v If Ctrl+k didn't work.

[@TypeScriptTV]

Apart from all the pretty cool Markdown tricks... How do you get such amazing audio quality without having a mic close to your mouth? 🤯

[@code]

Shot gun mic on a mic stand out of frame.

[@glennmiller394]

So tha'ts how they do it.

[@Michael-lo3ht]

I love you videos and I need this one. However I must say you covered too much too quick. It was hard enough following you around the screen and what you were doing. At the same time trying to absorb it. I will definitely have to view it again. It's powerful and would like to use it, not by itself but along with my regular project to document the program structure, etc. Thanks

[@forno_nicolas]

Bye notion... I prefer all on a single tool

[@user-fx6ji3if8n]

^^

[@dafa66]

Thanks for the great demo on doc writing with VSC, is there any chance you could share the readme.md you linked to in your demo showing the cheat sheet for markdown?

[@ChijiokeI]

Would like that too.
