Markdown Wikilinks Preview

Note: Markdown Notes now has a better version of this, integrated into the extension itself. I would not recommend using this in combination with it.

Allows wikilinks features within the VSCode markdown preview.

Uses a fork of a markdown-it plugin (original here In order to make linking markdown documents a bit more rewarding - The VSCode preview window now also shows wikilinks correctly.

This is still in very early development. If anything goes wrong, submit an issue or a PR.

Features

• Enables highlighting of Wikilinks within the VSCode Markdown Preview. (Works with piped links as well!)
• Allows clicking on those links to go to the referenced file's preview.

Limitations

• When clicking a link inside the preview, only the preview will update; The file won't open in your editor.

• Linking between files with different extensions (e.g. .markdown and .md) Will cause trouble.

  • Currently, this extension will append any link with a .md extension.

• File naming convention is very basic: lowercase-filenames-without-spaces-or-periods will work the best. Anything else is bandit territory.

Roadmap

• User defined settings
  • File type (.markdown, .mdx, etc.)
