Is there a programmatic API to automatically open a Markdown file in preview mode, that can be used by a VSCode extension running in Theia?
I’ve seen a similar question here, but don’t know how the answer given there would apply to a VSCode extension. I need something equivalent to VSCode’s markdown.showPreview
command.
@t1m0thyj in your vscode extension, it should be possible to simply execute the markdown.showPreview
command given that your application includes the vscode-builtin-markdown
and vscode-builtin-markdown-language-features
extension. You can re-use commands contributed by other extensions if needed.
For example, this custom extension I wrote uses the markdown.showPreview
command to render a README.md
located at the root of the workspace.
