👋, hey there!

Just discovered GistPad, this extension is excellent! And I'd love to be able to use Prettier with it.

Can I help on this feature? Any recommendations on where to start?

[xavxyz]

... I had the feeling Prettier wasn't running, but it seems to work now! 😅

Hmm, that’s unexpected actually! Let me try this and see if Prettier works in a Gist file for me as well 😁 I was expecting to need to send a PR to that extension in order to enable it for this scenario (which should be a fairly simple change).

FYI, I just sent a PR to VS Code to enable Markdown and Emmet in Gist-backed files: microsoft/vscode#87541.

Excellent!

Just created an issue in the spell checker I use, which I'm guessing is also related to this. Would be great to have it supported too! I didn't realise how much I relied on spell checking in Markdown files until it was gone.

@franklin-ross Thanks! I just took a quick look at the spell checker’s code, and it’s possible that this would be an easy fix. I’ll see if I can try it out and send a PR tomorrow 👍

[franklin-ross]

Wow, that's great, thanks a lot! Impressively quick response time there!
