Hashtags in Markdown notes for VSCode

The extension provides, what is stands for: #tag functionality in markdown files. 😄 Inspiration comes from Obsidian.md, Markdown Notes and Nested Tags.

How does this extensions differ from them?

• Markdown Notes provides same hashtag functionality, but also includes [[wiki-links]]. Markdown-hashtags only provides hashtags, so you can combine with different extension, like Markdown Memo.
• Nested tags put hashtags in html comment and YAML front matter. Markdown-hashtags provides similar experience as hashtags in any social networks.
