Wikitext Markup Language Support Extension for Visual Studio Code

This Visual Studio Code Extension provides support of Wikitext Markup language. With this extension, you can more easily discover your grammatical problems through the marked and styled text. The plugin is based on MediaWiki's Wikitext standard, but the rules are somewhat stricter, which helps users write text that is easier to read and maintain.

Of course, the development of this extension is short, and there may be some errors in operation and labeling. If you find a problem, please report it to me immediately for resolution.

If you get help with this project, give this project a star or recommend it to others, thanks!😸

Enhancement Tool: Wikitext-Extension-Gadget

• Now you can add Wikitext Extension Gadget as a user gadget on your wiki site. And you will get a button to open VSCode directly in your browser to edit the page!

  Go to the gadget's repository page to learn more.

  

Features

• Color and style annotations of Wikitext can make it easier for users to intuitively find problems in writing grammatical formats.

  

• Automatic matching and closing of simple parentheses reduces unnecessary double typing.

  

• The special comment syntax(<!--#region-->&<!--#endregion-->) can folds the code for easy reading.

  

• Press Ctrl + Shift + V or click the Preview icon in the title menu bar directly in the Wikitext content to get a parsed preview of Wikitext in the currently active text editor.

  

• Enter @[name] to get a snippet of wikitext. Such as @table, @region, @title...
