I hope that this beginner’s guide helps you to get started writing documentation in VS Code. I know that a lot of technical writers still use a variety of word processing tools, but there’s a lot of remarkable benefits to following the docs as code philosophy and getting stuck in with VS Code.

Now that you’ve got VS Code set up, you might want to study Markdown in some more depth to unlock the full potential of the tool.

I’d love to hear any additional tips you might have — the extensibility and configurability of VS Code means there are lots of exciting opportunities for technical writers!

Thanks for reading.
