Class MarkdownString

Uri that relative paths are resolved relative to.

If the baseUri ends with /, it is considered a directory and relative paths in the markdown are resolved relative to that directory:

const md = new vscode.MarkdownString(`[link](./file.js)`);
md.baseUri = vscode.Uri.file('/path/to/dir/');
// Here 'link' in the rendered markdown resolves to '/path/to/dir/file.js'
Copy

If the baseUri is a file, relative paths in the markdown are resolved relative to the parent dir of that file:

const md = new vscode.MarkdownString(`[link](./file.js)`);
md.baseUri = vscode.Uri.file('/path/to/otherFile.js');
// Here 'link' in the rendered markdown resolves to '/path/to/file.js'
Copy

Indicates that this markdown string is from a trusted source. Only trusted markdown supports links that execute commands, e.g. [Run it](command:myCommandId).

Defaults to false (commands are disabled).

Indicates that this markdown string can contain raw html tags. Defaults to false.

When supportHtml is false, the markdown renderer will strip out any raw html tags that appear in the markdown text. This means you can only use markdown syntax for rendering.

When supportHtml is true, the markdown render will also allow a safe subset of html tags and attributes to be rendered.

Indicates that this markdown string can contain ThemeIcons, e.g. $(zap).
