About markdown-formatter

markdown-formatter

中文文档

Introduction

This is a tool to improve the writing efficiency of markdown, not only provides a relatively uniform format for the markdown user, but also provides some snippets.

Instructions

After the installation is complete, you may need to restart your vscode.

In any markdown standard file with a .md suffix, you can use shift+option+f(osx) or ctrl+shift+f(window) to quickly format the code.

PS: It does not fix your markdown syntax errors. for example, there is no space after # as a title, because in the code # is a usable character that is widely used as a comment or variable declaration.

Feature

Ignore file format

If you want to ignore the current file ( not to be formatted ), you can insert below the code before or after the article

Snippets part

First of all, You must config like this in settings.json

import image

Typing img

import table

import code

Typing js , html , css , python , go , java , or code

import list

table

list

unordered list

code

Format the code, by js-beautify tool, currently only the javascript , html and css language;

code block

1. If lang is js or javascript or empty, it will be formatted according to js syntax. 2. If lang is html , it will be formatted according to html syntax. 3. If lang is css , it will be formatted according to css syntax. 4. If you don't use js usually, You can disable code block or code area autoformat code by setting the parameter formatOpt to false.

The js formatting rules can be configured in settings.json .

Code blocks can clearly mark the type of language, so it is recommended to use code blocks, you can configure codeAreaToBlock to set the conversion method.

code area

The default is not formatted. If codeAreaToBlock is any language name, such as js or go, it will be converted into a code block and then formatted.

Tips: Empty lines in the code area cannot exceed one line.
