The extension enhances user experiences in browsing spec log files with Visual Studio Code.
The term log files here indicates files created when spec software is launched with -l option (e.g., fourc -l 20210414.tlog).
spec does not specify the filename extension of log files.
While this VS Code extension by default treats .tlog as the file extension of log files (language identifier: spec-log), users can change the association by themselves.
Read Language Support in Visual Studio Code (official document of VS Code) for further details.
