Implementations

This extension integrates the esbonio language server into VSCode, it's primary goal is to expose all of the features provided by the language server and serve as a reference for integrating esbonio into other editors. Features that cannot be implemented primarily within the language server itself are out of scope for this extension.

For that reason, the Esbonio extension tries to integrate into the wider VSCode ecosystem where possible.

Esbonio depends on the following extensions

• By default, Esbonio relies on the offical Python Extension to configure the environment in which it builds your documentation.

• The MyST Syntax Highlighting extension provides syntax highlighting rules for MyST flavoured markdown.

The the following extensions are not required in order to use Esbonio, but you might find them useful

• The reStructuredText integrates many other useful tools such as the traditional linters like doc8 and rstcheck. It also provides additional editor functionality for working with reStructuredText in general.

• While VSCode has included a vendored copy of the reStructuredText Syntax highlighting extension since v1.66, installing the extension from the marketplace will provide you with the latest version of the syntax definition.
