The preview window opens up on the right side of the document when it opens.
Every time the markdown document is modified, the preview window will update.
Any code blocks receives full syntax highlighting in the preview window. Here's an example of JavaScript code rendered.
The preview window is automatically scrolled to match the scroll position of the document. As the document is scrolled up and down, the preview window will follow.
Live preview can be disabled in the settings.
The syntax highlighter is powered by Prism
Custom stylesheets
The preview window supports loading of custom stylesheets. It will look for a file called md-styles.css in the same directory as the currently opened markdown file or any parent directory.
If no md-styles.css file is found it will look for it in %userprofile%. If it still isn't found it will use the built in stylesheet.
To generate a custom stylesheet, simply right-click inside the markdown editor document and select Add Custom Stylesheet...
The name of the custom stylesheet can be changed in the settings.

Drag an image directly from Solution Explorer onto the document to insert the appropriate markdown that will render the image.

It will even parse the file name and make a friendly name to use for the alt text.
