Reflow Markdown

Reflow Markdown is a Visual Studio Code Extension originally forked from the Reflow paragraph extension by Troels Damgaard. Instead of targeting any line of text, however it focuses on Markdown files only and the specific formatting constructs unique to it such as paragraphs, headings, block quotes, lists, and code blocks.

Format the current heading, paragraph, list, or blockquote to have lines no longer than your preferred line length, using the alt+q shortcut or your own user-specific keyboard-binding.

This extension defaults to reflowing lines to be no more than 80 characters long. The preferred line length may be overridden using the config value of reflowMarkdown.preferredLineLength.

By default, it preserves the indent for paragraphs, when reflowing. This behavior may be switched off, by setting the configuration option reflowMarkdown.preserveIndent to false.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• reflowMarkdown.preferredLineLength: Set the preferred line length for reflowing paragraph (default: 80).

• reflowMarkdown.preserveIndent: Preserve paragraph indent when reflowing paragraph (default true).

• reflowMarkdown.doubleSpaceBetweenSentences: Insert two spaces instead of one between each sentence (default false).

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Invoke a reflow using alt+q (default).
