VSCode Manpages Syntax Extension

screenshot using Monokai dimmed

Yeah! This is a super simple Man Pages syntax extension. Fell free to use and contribute!

Getting started

Clone directly the extension to your VSCode extension path as suggested:

git clone git@github.com:jmurowaniecki/manpages.git ~/.vscode/extensions/

Wanna see more information about how to create your own man pages?
