MarkupContent

A MarkupContent literal represents a string value which content is interpreted base on its kind flag. Currently the protocol supports plaintext and markdown as markup kinds.

If the kind is markdown then the value can contain fenced code blocks like in GitHub issues. See https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/#syntax-highlighting

Here is an example how such a string can be constructed using JavaScript / TypeScript:

let markdown: MarkdownContent = {
 kind: MarkupKind.Markdown,
 value: [
   '# Header',
   'Some text',
   '

typescript', 'someCode();', '

 ].join('\n')
};

Please Note that clients might sanitize the return markdown. A client could decide to remove HTML from the markdown to avoid script execution.
