Hello, is there already a way to render markdown cells in vscode with the MyST-Markdown extension?

Hello, is there already a way to render markdown cells in vscode with the MyST-Markdown extension?

I'm facing the same issue.

@chrisjsewell it seems the api has since been released from what I can tell
Is there a plan to implement this feature in the near future? I much prefer working with VS Code over jupyterlab for most of my work but suppose I will just use jupyterlab for now when I need MyST markdown

[jonathanapfeifer]

Here is a demo extension I made which enables markdown rendering in vscode notebooks based on microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/main/notebook-extend-markdown-renderer-sample
I've only done very limited testing for the parts of MyST that I use day to day so I have no idea how complete its coverage is, but thought if there are others who want to render it in their notebook cells it could be helpful to them.

any progress on this? please

just had a look at the issue mentioned in the OP, and from what I can see there
microsoft/vscode#121256
and related issues like
microsoft/vscode#153403

it seems like the api that we were waiting for is now available ?

my understanding is this is what prevents MyST markdown in Jupyter notebook cells from being rendered properly, which would be an immense relief if that became available, since it would allow authoring Jupyter Book inputs under vs-code and remove the dependency to Jupyter Lab

please instruct if this matter is better followed in another issue or location
