Copilot Isn't Enabled for Markdown
By default, Copilot might not be configured to provide suggestions in Markdown files. You need to explicitly enable it in settings.
- Open VS Code settings (File > Preferences > Settings, or
Ctrl+,/Cmd+,). - Search for
Copilot:Enable. - In the "Copilot: Enable" list, make sure the
markdownitem is set totrue.
