Adobe Experience League Markdown Preview README

This is a VS Code extension that enhances the built-in Markdown preview feaures with Adobe extensions to the Markdown specification.

Currently this plugin extends the CommonMark specification, which is slightly different from the Git-flavored Markdown described in the Adobe Internal Authoring Guide.

Features

In addition to the standard markdown preview features provided by VS Code that adhere to the CommonMark specification, this extension attempts to provide a high-fidelity representation of Markdown that adheres to the custom Markdown syntax specified in the Adobe Markdown Syntax Style Guide.

Supported extensions

• Note, Caution, Important, Tip, and Warning
• Embedded video
• More Like This
• Various UI tags for localization

Examples

Here are some examples of the Adobe extensions in action. If you have the extension installed, it will format this document in the built-in VSCode preview panel. If you do not have the extension installed, the generic VSCode Markdown Preview will use the CommonMark spec to render the alert extensions as block quotes.

Note

>
> Here is a note component. Notice that it is just a blockquote that has a [!NOTE] label at the beginning of the code.
