custom

you can enable/disable every file type(except txt/text type) by any of the following method:

// with txtsyntax configuration
"txtsyntax.associations": [
  ".tmp",
  ".cnf",
  ".log",
  ".eds",
  ".aaa"
],
// or with vscode configuration
"files.associations": {
  "*.tmp": "txt",
  "*.cnf": "txt",
  "*.log": "txt",
  "*.eds": "txt",
  "*.aaa": "txt"
},

Folding function

Text between sections, braces or hypertext markups could be folded.

Section headers like these:

-*-
* xxx
[xxx]
Part I.
Section A
Page 1
A. 
1. 
一 xx
甲. xxx
第一章 xxx
第2回 xxx
第 3 节 xxx
...

You could set "files.defaultLanguage": "txt" or "files.associations": {"Untitled-*": "txt"} in settings.json to let vscode treat all Untitled files as txt files and then txt syntax will be enabled for these files automatically. In additon, you could also install Modelines extension to set a file to a special format.

note: It will override the default highlight schemes supported by visual studio code if you active this extension.
