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/gem5-slicc.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.
json -> yaml

npx js-yaml syntaxes/gem5-slicc.tmLanguage.json > syntaxes/gem5-slicc.tmLanguage.yaml

npx js-yaml syntaxes/gem5-slicc.tmLanguage.yaml > syntaxes/gem5-slicc.tmLanguage.json

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.
