Abstract: Providing code editor documentation pages using a lightweight text formatting language and platform-agnostic command links is disclosed. A code editor may provide a documentation code editor extension that enables developers to provide documentation pages that are defined using a lightweight text formatting language, and that include platform-agnostic command links. When selected by a user, the platform-agnostic command links are parsed by the documentation code editor extension, which then initiates execution of a corresponding command using an application programming interface (API) of the code editor. The platform-agnostic command link may comprise a scheme identifier and one or more attribute-value pairs used to specify a command, a project file path, a source file path, an extension file path, a completion message, an error message, a command text input, and/or a user-provided text input. In this manner, interactive documentation pages may provide command links across multiple platforms.
