使VScode自动突出显示.txt文件为Markdown

Question

Found this very helpful in Notepad++, but can't find the option to do it in VSCODE, Could VSCODE do it? Looking around setting for a while and Googled but nothing help.

EDIT: I know that I could easily make vscode highlight my txt file content by F1/Change Language Mode/json but I wonder how to make it auto-highlight txt file content as markdown syntax .

Answer 1

In VSC you can change the syntax-highlighting from 'Plain-text' to another 'language' by clicking the 'Plain-text'-button on the bottom right of the window.

edit: You can make VCS always do .md syntax-highligting on .txt files doing: -> Press F1 -> Type in Change Language Mode -> Choose Configure File Association for '.txt' -> Choose Markdown
