Known limitation: I did not have time to write content for:

• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide
• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/language-extensions/snippet-guide
• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/language-extensions/language-configuration-guide
• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/language-extensions/smart-editing-guide

Still, there is a lot of information for Language Extension developers on the website:

• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api
• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/extension-capabilities/overview
• https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api/language-extensions/overview

Test:

Scenario 1: Imagine you are interested in changing the color of JavaScript's keywords in the editor. Try to find useful information for doing that.

Scenario 2: Imagine you are interested in writing an extension that would show hover whenever you hover on a CSS property. Try to find useful information for doing that.

Scenario 3: Imagine you are the author of the X programming language, and you want to add comprehensive language support for X programming language in VS Code. Try to find useful information for doing that.

Try not to click directly from the link collections above. Instead, jump right into the API doc: https://vscode-ext-docs.azurewebsites.net/api. Report issues for:

• Unclear concepts
• Unclear navigation
