Wikitext Markup Language Support Extension for Visual Studio Code

This Visual Studio Code Extension provides support of Wikitext Markup language. With this extension, you can more easily discover your grammatical problems through the marked and styled text. The plugin is based on MediaWiki's Wikitext standard, but the rules are somewhat stricter, which helps users write text that is easier to read and maintain.

Of course, the development of this extension is short, and there may be some errors in operation and labeling. If you find a problem, please report it to me immediately for resolution.

If you get help with this project, give this project a star or recommend it to others, thanks!😸
