[Feature request] Native VS Code support for GitHub Alerts

[d-kleine]

Please add native VS Code support for GitHub Alerts, e.g.:

Note

Highlights information that users should take into account, even when skimming.

Tip

Optional information to help a user be more successful.

Important

Crucial information necessary for users to succeed.

Warning

Critical content demanding immediate user attention due to potential risks.

Caution

Negative potential consequences of an action.

Right now in VS Code, you need an external extension for displaying the markdown for these alerts, lacking features like creating snippet commands to quickly add alerts.

I think a GitHub official extension, which does not exist currently, will suffice.

I think a GitHub official extension will suffice.

Which one? Can you link that one please?
Afaik there is "GitHub" extension. All official extension from GitHub are related to special services, like "Git Pull Requests", "GitHub Actions", etc., but there is no "GitHub" or any official extension released by Microsoft that deals with markdown.

I have several official extensions from Microsoft for GitHub services installed, and this did not resolve the markdown issue. And by this feature request, I am asking for a feature that VS Code would do the rendering for the GitHub Alerts natively (=by its own, without having any extension enabled) for the preview.

Right now, the native preview is:

When having for instance this external extension enabled:

So, currently displaying the GitHub Alerts markdown in the preview does only work with external extensions only. With this, I am asking for an integration of a feature displaying GitHub Alerts markdown in VS Code natively, without needing any extension.

Oh, I mean GitHub should make a new extension to support GitHub Flavored Markdown in VSCode instead of VSCode supporting GitHub Flavored Markdown natively, for this rendering is specific to GitHub Flavored Markdown.

@mjbvz would you be amenable to our built in markdown rendering including support for GitHub alerts?
