Description

It would be nice to offer a way to display a directory-like structure.

Use Cases

This would solve the issue of displaying how a folder should be structured without manual formatting or manual local creation in order to run the tree command which requires special flags and is not available on Windows. The second approach also doesn't give you icons for different extension types unless you set up your terminal with Nerd Fonts and sometimes those do not copy/paste well.

Thanks for suggesting. I'm not sure how many users would need this, and how the syntax/markup for this would look, but we can leave it open for a while to see if others would find it useful as well.
