MetaPost language and preview extension for VSCode.

vscode-metapost

Language support for the MetaPost TeX drawing language.

Features

Currently available features:

• Adds colourized syntax highlighting to any .mp file. Embedded LaTeX, either via btex/etex blocks, or verbatimtex are automatically LaTeX highlighted.

• Preview image to the side, with update on save

Known Issues

Macro invocation highlighting does not yet work as intended, thus has been left out.

Please note I am writing this extension as I learn MetaPost; specifically the grammar used in the syntax highlighting will be incomplete / error prone.

Please get in contact with me to request changes, or submit a PR on the GitHub.

Thank you :~)
