Description

GitHub generally supports Markdown previews when writing comments, descriptions, files etc. It'd be awesome if I could similarly preview comments in progress in VS Code, e.g.:

  • comments on a PR's description
  • the description itself, during editing
  • the description of a PR being created in the side panel
  • review comments

I realize the discussion of #5267 resulted in a bug fix for a different extension that handles Markdown previews for files. I agree with the philosophy of the way that issue was handled. That said, it'd be nice to have Markdown previews for PR comments in some form in VS Code.
