Notes

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting should work out of the box, but if you have issues with it make sure that you have the following setting enabled either globally or specifically for AWK language.

"[awk]": {
  "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": true
}

Formatting

Formatting requires prettier and prettier-plugin-awk installed either globally or locally in your workspace (in which case it's prioritized).

Formatting on save can be controlled with the following setting:

"[awk]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

AWKPATH

To have support for AWKPATH env variable provide it in your environment. Here's just one example how this can be done:

AWKPATH=./include code .
