Supercharge Your Markdown Experience: The Ultimate MDX Extension for VS Code

Intro

Let's imagine: you are writing in a markdown document. You are used to nicely highlighted syntax when coding. You started writing a lot using the MDX format relatively recently. You always have things to do, so you do not pay much attention to writing without any syntax highlighting. Sounds familiar? This was exactly the situation I was in, but then I heard somewhere about using extensions for markdown files. In this post, I discuss a VS Code markdown extension that makes writing more convenient and enjoyable.

The VS Code Markdown Extension 'MDX'

When I realized that I needed a markdown extension, I searched for it and found a popular extension called MDX. After I installed it, the markdown document just bloomed! The front matter is nicely highlighted; I can comment on parts of it by using the standard Ctrl+/ shortcut, which I couldn't do before. Almost everything in the document is highlighted, making it nice to look at. It also has other features you may need, but I haven't explored them yet. It seems to be lightweight, which is definitely a plus. To install it in VS Code, go to the Extensions Marketplace and search for MDX. Make sure it is by Unified.

Conclusion

That's it! This is my short overview of the amazing MDX extension by Unified. I like it so far, I guess you will like it too. If you like this article, please share it with someone who might find it interesting too. Like my blog? Subscribe to the newsletter.
