From the README
This extension lets you preview and edit common office and design files directly in VS Code.
This extension replaces the default Markdown editor with a WYSIWYG editor.
To use the built-in VS Code Markdown editor instead, add this to your
settings.json:Right-click in the editor to export Markdown to PDF, DOCX, or HTML. PDF export requires Chromium; set the browser path with
vscode-office.chromiumPath.Shortcuts: Based on shortcut.md, plus:
Long code blocks are capped (default 400px) with an expand/collapse button to view them in full. Change the default height via the editor toolbar's ⚙ Settings → Code block height (down to compact, up to unlimited).
