Fix VSCode Markdown: Quick Solutions

If Markdown syntax is not working in VSCode, it may be due to the following reasons:

1. The Markdown language support plugin was not properly installed: Search for the Markdown language support plugin in the VSCode extensions store, install it, and then restart VSCode for it to take effect.
2. The file extension is not “.md” or “.markdown”: Make sure your Markdown file’s extension is “.md” or “.markdown”, otherwise VSCode may not recognize it as a Markdown file correctly.
3. Conflicting extensions: Sometimes conflicts can occur between different extensions, causing Markdown syntax to not work properly. Try temporarily disabling other extensions to see if that resolves the issue.
4. Markdown rendering configuration is not enabled: search for “markdown.rendering” in VSCode settings, and make sure that options such as “Markdown: Preview” and “Markdown: Open Preview to the Side” are turned on.

If none of the above methods work, you can try upgrading to the latest version of VSCode or reinstalling it to resolve the issue.
