Using the steps outlined in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/markdown in step 3 of the Automatic Markdown compilation section I am not presented with a picker listing the tasks defined in the gulp file.
gulp -v produces
CLI version 3.9.1
Local version 3.9.1
My steps are to this point are:
- create the gulpfile.js file in the root folder (the folder that contains the .vscode folder)
- copy the contents of the file verbatim from the instructions
- Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the command menu
- Select
Tasks: Run Tasks
Here I'm presented only with task in the field and No tasks foundbelow.
I've tried just copying the contents of what the tasks.json file should look like, according to the instructions, but I can't seem to get the system working where my markdown files are automatically compiling.
What am I doing wrong?
