# Welcome to your VS Code Extension

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

* press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded
