Features

Command Palette

You can generate markdown files directly from an ARM template through the Command Pallette. Simply press Ctrl+Shift+P (Win/Linux) or Command+Shift+P (MacOS) and type in PSDocs.Azure: Generate Markdown

You will first be asked to provide a full path to the ARM template. The prompt auto-populates with the full path of the currently opened file.

Additionally, you will be asked to provide a relative path (from the ARM template) to store the generated markdown.

The markdown will be created in the folder relative to the the ARM template file.

Snippets

• psdocs-arm can be used to add metadata at the template root schema
