Hi Devin,
Did you use an extension in VS Code for Markdown?, if so, which one?
Thanks.

Subject: [program-l] Writing Markdown: Emacs verses VS-Code
Hi all. As a technical assistant at my new job at an adult education facility
for people with disabilities, I work on fixing up courses in Moodle. Moodle,
thankfully, accepts Markdown, which also, thankfully, can use HTML in a new
element.
I've used Emacs, with Emacspeak, for much of this, but wanted to try VSCode on
Windows. I just finished a lesson with it, and here's what I've found.
Emacs' key commands make me a little more productive. The sound Emacspeak makes
for a line with an error helps more than pressing F8 to go to the next problem.
I felt like Emacs held my hand a bit more than VSCode, which I need so that my
Markdown comes out great the first time. I do like VSCode's ability to preview
the markdown in the browser. Emacs can do that too, but EWW (Emacs Bewbrowser)
isn't quite as modern as Chrome.
All in all, VSCode is usable for me, but I feel rather lost and without the
tools that Emacs has when using it.
