## 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 you extension.
|
||
|
|
* `syntaxes/TableGen.tmLanguage` - this is the Text mate grammar file that is used for tokenization
|
||
|
|
* `language-configuration.json` - this the language configuration, defining the tokens that are used for
|
||
|
|
comments and brackets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Get up and running straight away
