In version 1.3 of Visual Studio Code, looks like they removed the native markdown preview support and refactored it to be a VS Code extension. The release notes mentions this, but doesn't recommend what plug-in(s) we should install to get this functionality back into the editor.
Does anyone know what plug-in we should be using to re-enable the Markdown Preview?
From the Release notes: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/June_2016
Extract Markdown into an extension The Markdown language support has been refactored to be a regular VS Code extension. It uses the Markdown TextMate grammar for syntax highlighting source and renders the Markdown as HTML using the markdown-it library which implements the CommonMark Spec.

Markdown Preview is enabled in VS Code 1.3. What the release notes said is that feature has been moved to an preinstalled extension. You can check that in the sub-directory "extensions" of a VSCode installation. It contains a sub-folder "markdown". That's the markdown extension.
Markdown Preview is moved into the context menu of a tab for some reasons. Check the issue on https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/8996
