File Type Markdown

The file-type-markdown icon represents a Markdown file, which is a crucial component in documentation and content creation. A Markdown file contains formatted text, providing essential information for rendering and interaction. This icon is often used in integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio Code (VSCode) to denote Markdown files. Markdown files are used in various applications, including web and mobile app development, to define the structure and dependencies of documentation.

The file-type-markdown icon is used in VSCode to indicate the presence of a Markdown file, allowing developers to quickly identify and access these files. This icon is also used in other development tools and platforms to represent Markdown files.

In terms of UX, the file-type-markdown icon communicates the type of file and its significance in the development process. It helps users navigate through their codebase and identify Markdown files quickly.

File Type Markdown is one of 1,426 icons in VSCode Icons, made by Roberto Huertas and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds FileTypeMarkdownIcon to components/icons/vscode-icons-file-type-markdown.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed FileTypeMarkdownIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the File Type Markdown icon, or any of 1,426 VSCode Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 32 × 32 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="File Type Markdown", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FileTypeMarkdownIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FileTypeMarkdownIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming VSCode Icons, Roberto Huertas and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are file, development, software, programming, coding and vscode. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for File Type Markdown in another set.

VSCode Icons draws many icons in several styles: Light next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see File Type Markdown's siblings in it.
