Implement a new webview that you can use as a WYSIWYG markdown Editor. For instance, with milkdown.

Important:

  • Keep the front matter unchanged
  • Make sure the FM panel can still be used while the webview is open
  • Ability to easily switch between markdown and WYSIWYG

JFYI: We're trying to work with Milkdown for mdx and md files. For mdx not always work (custom react components was shown as code blocks), but for md files works ok (just shows the header/frontmatter as a title/big).

My plan is either ask on their issues to get some config or make a fork for our internal use.

In the summer, I created a branch where I did some testing with Milkdown. There were indeed some issues I spotted as well, but think they are able to be solved.
