Reflow Markdown

Reflow Markdown is a Visual Studio Code Extension originally forked from the Reflow paragraph extension by Troels Damgaard. Instead of targeting any line of text, however it focuses on Markdown files only and the specific formatting constructs unique to it such as paragraphs, headings, block quotes, lists, and code blocks.

Format the current heading, paragraph, list, or blockquote to have lines no longer than your preferred line length, using the alt+q shortcut or your own user-specific keyboard-binding.

This extension defaults to reflowing lines to be no more than 80 characters long. The preferred line length may be overridden using the config value of reflowMarkdown.preferredLineLength.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• reflowMarkdown.preferredLineLength: Set the preferred line length for reflowing paragraph (default: 80).

• reflowMarkdown.doubleSpaceBetweenSentences: Insert two spaces instead of one between each sentence (default false).

• reflowMarkdown.resizeHeaderDashLines: Modifies the length of the ---'s or ==='s under H1s and H2s to be the same length as the header text. If the header text spans multiple lines, the dashes are set to be the length of the longest line.

• reflowMarkdown.wrapLongLinks: Specifies how links will be wrapped when they cause a line to extend beyond the preferred length.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Invoke a reflow using alt+q (default).
