I have a publisher ID on the vscode marketplace. Would it be helpful if I publish this context extension to vscode on the marketplace? Is it open source, and do I have permission to do this? I have spent the past 4 months writing an extension of my own and so the vscode API is still fresh in my mind. Is there a repo for this extension online? What is its URL?

___________________________________________________________________________________Another thing: I don’t know how the tasks from "tasks/context.json" are supposed to work. They don’t appear under "Run Task" (Ctrl-F12).
I made my own tasks.json (doesn’t work in ~/.vscode-oss or ~/.vscode, but only in <project>/.vscode), that works to call context or mtxrun, but it won’t ever open an external PDF viewer. I found a workaround via command substitution (backticks):
{// for the documentation about the tasks.json format"version": "2.0.0","tasks": [{"label": "ConTeXt","type": "shell","command": "context --autopdf=auto '${file}' && `xdg-open '${fileBasenameNoExtension}.pdf'`","args": [],"options": {"cwd": "${fileDirname}"},"group": {"kind": "build","isDefault": true}},{"label": "check file","type": "shell","command": "mtxrun --script check '${file}'","args": [],"options": {"cwd": "${fileDirname}"},"group": {"kind": "test","isDefault": true}},{"label": "open PDF in external viewer","type": "shell","command": "`xdg-open '${fileBasenameNoExtension}.pdf'`","args": [],"options": {"cwd": "${fileDirname}"},}]}Hraban
