About ITCH-VSC (Inline Tag Context Hider for VS Code)
ITCH-VSC is a VS Code extension used to collapse user-defined inline tags so that only the inner content is visible while viewing a file.
When the content is being edited or selected, the collapsed 'context' (e.g., inner and outer HTML tags) will automatically expand.
The original purpose of this extension was to support my web-based visual novel engine,
and the ability to have inline-styled content while retaining readability was important.
