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.
