Description

Thanks much for the new markdown.validate features. However, currently validation is applicable only within a document. It would be most beneficial if we could enable validation for all documents in a containing parent folder (which would hopefully be configurable, since the root parent folder might be several levels up).

Best.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate VS Code's markdown validation architecture and extend it to support workspace level validation by introducing a configuration option like 'markdown.validate.workspace' that triggers validation on all markdown files in the workspace, possibly using file system watchers or workspace document change events.
