What can I do with markup files (.mkd) inside Visual Studio? I am looking for a way to display the Markdown comments / instructions in some collective manner.

Show the rendered HTML markdown to the right of the current editor using ctrl-shift-m. It is currently enabled for . markdown , . md , .

Open and Convert Markdown Documentation Files Since these MD files are just plain text documents, you can open one with any text editor, like Notepad or WordPad in Windows.

How do I preview a MD file in my browser?

To do that, right-click the extension icon in the in the toolbar and then select Manage Extensions. Scroll down until you see Allow Access to File URLs and toggle the switch to the On position. Now that Markdown Preview Plus is fully set up, you can drag any Markdown-formatted file into the browser to preview it.

The accepted answer is five years old, and the respective extension supports only up to Visual Studio 2015. Today, for Visual Studio 2019 and below, I would recommend Markdown Editor by Mads Kristensen. It has over 400K installs, supports GitHub and other flavors, live preview window, automatic HTML file generation, and much more. Works with both file extensions .md and .mkd..

You can also use Visual Studio Code instead of Visual Studio, then you have excellent markdown support with live preview built-in. There is an extension Markdown Preview Github Styling. For even more functionality, another great extension is Markdown All In One.
