Here is the Microsoft documentation on how to build, debug and publish a Visual Studio Code Extension. [LINK] I know you said Visual Studio Code, but you also said IDE, so I included this link to the Visual Studio IDE Extension [LINK] in case you actually meant that instead of code. Here is a step by step VS Code youtube tutorial [this video] from good teacher, Traversy. Congrats on your project, and Good luck.

If anyone could please help. I followed Brad Traverseys code step for step, yet I can't see it in my extentions no matter what I do. [this video] This was in the video, I did it. So I've ensured all which needed " " were enclosed with these. I moved the file into the .vscode/extensions file and restarted vscode. So 'i'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate help on this as it seems hard to search for answers on this. And just for clarity, I made an HTML CODE SNIPPETS file. Thanks in advance Nick
