Documentation tools
These tools help you write documentation more efficiently, reduce context-switching, and catch errors before you commit.
The Elastic Docs Utilities extension simplifies authoring with autocompletion, catches syntax errors with real-time validation, and enables you to preview variables inline.
The extension is available in VS Code whether you're:
- Working locally in the VS Code desktop application
- Working in the browser in VS Code web editors (GitHub Codespaces, github.dev)
- Autocompletion for directives, frontmatter, and inline roles
- Real-time validation of syntax and structure
- Variable previews and substitution support
You can install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
