Creating markdown files with Visual Studio 2019

So I have been making presentations and projects using Rmarkdown and Jupyter Notebooks. This is great because I can breakdown parts as needed and run code a section at a time. Now my projets require cpp, and I have been using Visual Studio 2019, in the new project folder I have been unable to find a way markdown option. I did find this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/889434/markdown-implementations-for-c-c?r=SearchResults&s=1|64.2071

However most of these are quite old answers, and those that are still being updated seem to be for Visual Studio CODE not VS2019.

Mads Kristensen released a new, "complete rewrite of the original Markdown Editor with tons of fixes, tweeks, and performance improvements" (as stated in his Github Repo).
It is the best solution if you work with .MD files within your Visual Studio projects and solutions.
Also, it works with Visual Studio 2022 too.

Here is the simplest way to find and install it:
Inside your Visual Studio IDE, just go to
Extensions -> Manage Extensions -> Online
and then type "markdown editor v2" at the search box.
