vscode-markdown-preview-enhanced VS Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2

However, the built-in previewer doesn't support citations (which is a Pandoc-specific feature), so if you need (to preview) them you can use an alternative Pandoc-based Markdown preview, for example Document Preview (by me) or Markdown Preview Enhanced (not by me). Both support Mermaid, mine might be a bit harder to set up right now as it's not well documented yet. If you don't care about citations you should be fine using built-in previewer though.

I am thinking about this question for a long time... In GitHub vscode issues, this post said that the developers of the vscode don't have a plan to support Mathjax in the near future. However, in Markdown Preview Enhanced extension, the author of this extension provided Mathjax as one of the math rendering options MPE. The reason why I didn't use this extension is that it has an annoying bug when I tried to use the autonumbering function to reference my equations. Details can be seen in this issue page post.

yeah, he was tired of maintaining it and also there was open dialog about closing his own project, so it seems pretty reasonable. i'm sure there is further correspondence with the creator of the original plugin, but for the most part it seems like he didn't want to maintain it anymore and was happy to see MS incorporate his idea

The original developer doesn't sound too worried and seems to have collaborated on the feature: https://github.com/CoenraadS/Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2/issues...

Plus it helps him getting rid of 399 open issues.

However, the most recently created issue with a discussion seems to be CoenraadS/Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2#436 which is from 7 days ago, and the most recent issue is from 2 days ago, so I figure the repo must have been archived since then.

It works mostly, but there are still a few bugs, such as escaped brackets in Python's f-strings not working, as noted in CoenraadS/Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2#156 (the issue I was originally looking up).

Which commit are you referring to? As far as I can tell, the last one was made almost a year ago, so it seems like the extension has been abandoned for quite a long time. I have no idea why exactly it happened, probably because the developer lost interest in maintaining it. Worth noting is that there's a feature request for adding bracket pair colorization to VS Code (microsoft/vscode#96899), which has been backlogged.

Is there a way to do something like what they have in VSCode? https://github.com/CoenraadS/Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2
