  2. I googled "github vscode issues jupyter preview markdown while writing" and found this issue ticket in the microsoft/vscode-jupyter GitHub repo: [Feature Request] Render Markdown text realtime #1340, which covers what you are asking for. Unfortunately, it was closed in October of 2021 with the message:

    Thanks for the feedback! However, we don’t have plans on adding this functionality at this time.

    You could try your hand at raising it again. If you do, please comment here with a link to your issue ticket, or suggest an edit to this post to add a link to it for posterity, and so I can follow it.
