| # Welcome to your VS Code Extension |
| |
| ## What's in the folder |
| |
| * This folder contains all of the files necessary for your extension. |
| * `package.json` - this is the manifest file in which you declare your language support and define the location of the grammar file that has been copied into your extension. |
| * `syntaxes/ll.tmLanguage.json` - this is the Text mate grammar file that is used for tokenization. |
| * `language-configuration.json` - this is the language configuration, defining the tokens that are used for comments and brackets. |
| |
| ## Get up and running straight away |
| |
| * Make sure the language configuration settings in `language-configuration.json` are accurate. |
| * Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded. |
| * Create a new file with a file name suffix matching your language. |
| * Verify that syntax highlighting works and that the language configuration settings are working. |
| |
| ## Make changes |
| |
| * You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after making changes to the files listed above. |
| * You can also reload (`Ctrl+R` or `Cmd+R` on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes. |
| |
