Q: Why You Don't Integrate Some Plugin?

The extension works with other markdown plugin extensions (those who contribute to built-in Markdown engine) well, Both Preview and Export. Like: • Markdown Preview Github Styling • Markdown+Math • Markdown Preview Mermaid Support

The extension does not tend to do all the work, so just use them, those plugins could be deeper developed, with better experience.

Exporter

Find in command palette, or right click on an editor / workspace folder, and execute:

• Markdown: Export to File • Markdown: Export Markdown to File

The export files are organized in out directory in the root of workspace folder by default.

Export Configurations

You can configure exporting for multiple documents with user settings.

Further, you can add per-file settings inside markdown to override user settings, it has the highest priority:

See all available settings for puppeteer.pdf, and puppeteer.image
