This allows you to navigate to original source files that declare the target symbol that isn’t in your current solution. In Visual Studio 2022 we now surface embedded source and Source Link as part of Go To Definition. Navigating and exploring code is an integral part of developer productivity. From there you can use them directly on your web page, preserving all the fonts, formats and colors visible in the original editor window.In this post I’ll cover the following.

So if you want to post syntax-highlighted code snippets to your web page, just copy and paste them with the Paste Special function into a new editor tab. When you copy text with syntax highlighting from the VSCode editor window to the clipboard, it is also copied in HTML format. Quick tip: Transferring code snippets to a web page The full source code of the extension is available via GitHub. Additional up-to-date information is available in the Readme. The extension can be installed from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

This extension implements a Paste Special function to paste clipboard content in different available formats. The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 now lists it as the most popular development environment used by 50.1% of the respondents, followed by Visual Studio with 31.5% and Notepad++ with 30.5%. VSCode, as you might know, is a very popular code editor created and maintained by Microsoft and available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Today a short blog post about a Visual Studio Code extension I created a week ago.
