THIS REPO IS NOW ARCHIVED

This was my first and only extension for VSCode, which I somehow was able to put together with very little knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, VSCode and git/github (seems the src folder is missing but I'm pretty sure I never touched .gitignore). I suspect the code is quite horrible. My engagement with VSCode was very brief as I quite quickly moved onto vim and then Emacs. I was unaware of any interest in the extension, though now I see there's some open issues (I guess I never got any notifications?). Thank you for the interest shown, and sorry for the lack of attention!

CriticMarkup for Visual Studio Code README

A CriticMarkup extension for Visual Studio Code.

Features

Implements support for CriticMarkup in Visual Studio Code.

• Snippets with key bindings for suggesting additions, deletions and substitutions, as well as for commenting and highlighting.
• Adds grammars and syntax highlighting
• Cycle through changes in the document

Requirements

This extension doesn't have any requirements or dependencies. However, to convert the text you'll need converter.

Usage

See the official CriticMarkup User's Guide for a full introduction.

Use the following key bindings to insert CriticMarkup markup:

• Addition (ctrl+shift+a): Suggest an addition to the text.
• Deletion (ctrl+shift+d): Suggest text to be deleted (will markup currently selected text).
• Substitution (ctrl+shift+s): Suggest that text be substituted for other text (will markup the currently selected text as text to be substituted).
• Comment (ctrl+shift+c): Add a comment.
• Highlight and comment (ctrl+shift+h): Highlight and comment the text (selected text will be highlighted).

To cycle between changes, use the Command Palette and the commands CriticMarkup: Next Change and CriticMarkup: Previous Change.

Extension Settings

The syntax highlight colors can be changed by modifying the following textMateRules under editor.tokenColorCustomizations in settings.json:

• criticmarkup.addition (default #00bb00)
• criticmarkup.deletion (default #dd0000)
• criticmarkup.substitution(default #ff8600)
• criticmarkup.comment (default #0000bb)
• criticmarkup.highlight (default #aa53a9)

Known Issues

• The extension will automatically set syntax highlighting colors for the CriticMarkup syntax. It will do so only if these setting aren't already set. Currently, only one setting is checked (criticmarkup.addition); if some settings are removed but not this, the extension won't reset the settings.

• Currently, the extension does not work very well with Markdown All in One and other extensions that implements strikethrough text. Since substitutions in CriticMarkup use the syntax {~~foo~>bar~~}, and the strikethrough syntax is ~~foo~~, the substitution will appear as strikethrough text. If you still want to use this extension together with Markdown All in One, it is recommended that you disable the "syntax decorations" option.

• The key bindings probably conflict with other key bindings. Please let know.

Todo

• Automatically distinguish between highlighting and commenting, and just commenting
• Accept/reject changes
• Jump to changes
• Track changes functionality
