Now supports VSCode for web!

Features:

  • VS Code for the Web: The extension now runs in the browser on vscode.dev and github.dev, including virtual workspaces such as remotely opened repositories
  • Untrusted Workspaces: The documentation tree now works in workspaces you have not marked as trusted
  • MDX Support: .mdx files are included by default, have their YAML front matter title read, and open the same way .md files do
  • Include Files by Name: The new workspaceWiki.includeGlobs setting pulls individual documentation files into the tree by name or pattern, such as doc.go or *.guide.ts, without showing every other file that shares their extension
  • Markdown Editor: Markdown now opens in VS Code's built-in Markdown Editor when the running version offers it (VS Code 1.131+, .md only), falling back to Markdown Preview and then to a plain open

Configuration:

  • The default workspaceWiki.openWith command for Markdown changed from markdown.showPreview to workspace-wiki.openMarkdown, which chooses between the Markdown Editor, Markdown Preview, and a plain open based on what your VS Code supports. To always get the read-only preview, set "md": "markdown.showPreview". If you have already customised openWith, your entries are untouched.

Update:

  • Workspace Wiki now requires VS Code 1.105.0 or newer, up from 1.99.3.

Bug Fixes:

  • .gitignore rules are now applied across every workspace folder, including nested .gitignore files and ! negation patterns. Previously only the first folder's top-level .gitignore was read, and its patterns were converted approximately.
  • excludeGlobs patterns are now matched as real globs rather than by substring, so a pattern no longer hides unrelated files whose path merely contains it
  • maxSearchDepth is now counted from each workspace folder in a multi-root workspace, instead of from the first folder for every file
  • README files with no extension now sort to the top of their folder, the way README.md already did
  • File titles now drop whatever extension a file has, so entries such as .adoc, .mdx, and doc.go read as clean titles
  • Folder names containing a dot, such as docs.v2, now keep their full name in the tree
