Update Markdown Documentation

[ghost]

Hi,

can you please add a section mentioning that VS Code renders math expressions using KaTeX.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions/markdown-math

The extension is bundled with VS Code, but there is no way to know it until you write some math symbol and see that is is displayed in the Preview.

Also, there is a new feature in the latest release, can you please include info about it as well?

Thanks!

@aedwnr Thanks for bringing this up. We'll include this in the docs.

The Markdown URL paste feature is my favorite new feature for technical writing.

It just started working for me this year and I didn't know why. (Who reads changelogs?)

I thought only the Markdown All in One extension implemented this, but I don't have it installed.

I searched the main Markdown documentation for paste and URL and found nothing relevant.

Today on Google when I search for vs code insert markdown link the main documentation appears as the first result as it should, but Google's snippet is irrelevant.

The second result is a Stack Overflow answer that points towards the changelog entry.

@iainelder Yes! It's indeed a great feature for technical writing. I'll update the core docs accordingly in the April sprint, so it shows up there.

@ntrogh thanks for the docs refresh.

When does the change go live?

@iainelder will trigger a deploy later today. Thanks for your interest.
