DocBlocks for VS Code

Give every Markdown file a richer editing surface.

Open .md files as visual documents without leaving your workspace. VS Code keeps its file explorer, tabs, source control, and theme; DocBlocks supplies visual writing, raw source, Play views, media, and export controls.

Extension source Read the docs

A Markdown document open in the DocBlocks visual editor inside VS Code — DocBlocks supplies the document surface while VS Code keeps its familiar tabs, project tree, source control, and theme.

Plain Markdown underneath

A document editor that respects the IDE around it.

DocBlocks deliberately uses a chrome-less editor webview in VS Code. Your project tree, editor tabs, save behavior, and external file changes stay under VS Code’s control, while DocBlocks focuses on the document itself.

Open Markdown visually

Make DocBlocks the default editor for .md files or use “Open in DocBlocks” only when you want the rich document surface.

Keep source close

Switch to raw Markdown whenever precision matters. The same source remains usable by GitHub, static-site tools, other editors, and AI coding agents.

Add tools when needed

The Setup pane can add the local DocBlocks CLI to a workspace and register its MCP server without granting filesystem roots automatically.

Try the same editor in your browser.

DocBlocks.com opens directly into the full application and keeps browser documents local.
