Hi, I have seen ConTeXt comes with an extension for VS Code. How do you use that? I have tried the code in the readme, but this doesn't seem to work. Best, Denis

(it's still somewhat experimental and i'm waiting till the editor has better - easier - support for runners associated with suffixes, which currently is kind of one-for-all) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

For my ConTeXt editor overview: Does VScode include a PDF viewer? Does it work with SyncTeX? Why should one use the mtxrun call? Does the ConTeXt extension also work with VScodium?
