This is a great tools for working with Markdown in Github. The only improvements I could see are table support and real-time updating instead of on save. Excellent work.
Great but I really wish it have the option of calling GitHub to parse the markdown. Really love GH-flavored Markdown and the stylesheet. This is what Markdown Preview for Sublime Text allows and it rocks.
This extension is excellent. Installed flawlessly. The combination of syntax highlighting and live preview is killer. All my readme.txt's are getting converted to readme.md files today!
This crashes every single time for me. If you use a minus sign for the bullet marker, it crashes VS. It seems like it would be a nice tool, but I guess I'll uninstall it until it's fixed.
Highlighting of keywords is cool, but this plugin takes it one step further and "renders" as you type. Headers gets a larger font size, code goes in a monospace font, links becomes underlined. Sleek, sexy, awesome!
Pretty good. Would be nice if it would work with files without a .mkd extension (e.g README). Also, it seems to 'save' something everytime a change is made whilst the preview window is open... this results in a ticking sound from VS.Net which is a little annoying.
Otherwise, this is a great extension! Thank you very much!
When I make a reference to a relative file  it is not rendering correctly. I'd like to keep my images and other files relative to the .mkd file I'm creating so I can create relative links. Is there a way to do this?
When I open a README.md file I get the msg "Visual Studio has encountered an exception. This may be caused by an extension." VS remains open, file seems editable.
The VS ActivityLog.xml file contains these entries:

I'm running VS 2010 Pro SP1 v10.0.40219.1.
Right you are, I disabled the 5 JScript Power Tools extensions and the MD file opens no error. I forgot I even had that installed. I'll take the issue to their discussion board. Sorry I didn't troubleshoot that more at my end before posting.
No worries :) Just reply here if you get any more information back from those guys about what, if anything, could be done in this extension to avoid the issue. Thanks!
I use Nocco, a .Net port of Docco, which creates html docs from JS files with markdown.
Could you add JS files to the extensions list that Markdown Mode supports?
If there is a standard extension for it (.mkjs or something?), I could add it. In the meantime, you can download the extension (https://github.com/noahric/markdownmode) and modify ContentType.cs to include the new extension, something like:
[Export]
[ContentType(Name)]
[FileExtension(".mkjs")]
public static FileExtensionToContentTypeDefinition MarkdownJSFileExtension = null;
I have noticed that when using MarkdownMode the mouse pointer will often turn the the busy pointer even when I'm not doing anything. It seems to intermittently just start consuming CPU resources. Is this a known problem? I am using Visual Studio 2010.
I'm not sure why it would happen when you aren't active, but I do know that the embedded IE instance can set the mouse cursor busy, so it's possible that something on the preview page is doing it (assuming the preview tool window is open). If the preview tool window isn't open, then I have no idea, sorry :(
This extension is great. Thanks!
A feature request: do you have plans to implement some kind of paragraph filling (a la M-q in Emacs)?
(enabling word wrap in VS partially solves the problem - long lines associated with bullets look ugly, as line continuations are not properly indented).
I don't at this time, though I know of a couple of other people working on extensions to do that in general.
I use it currently just with word wrap on, as you suggest as a partial workaround :)

Also, you can try installing this extension, which does make word wrap indent lines:

Two more feature requests for the document outline:
* using a tree in the document outline would be nice
* making it possible to see the document outline all the time would also be nice.
Many thanks!
