ct for vscode

codetext extension for vscode.

codetext lets you embed code in text like images or figures floating in a document. it's a bit like jupyter notebooks with the addition that code chunks are named and you can use the names to nest chunks.

this is a mini codetext example:

open a file named greeting.py

``//greeting.py: #py
import sys
name = sys.argv[1]
``say hi``
``

and say hi in the `say hi` chunk:

``/say hi: #py
print("hi " + name)
``

codetext for vscode gives the following commands in the command palette (ctrl-shift-p):

ct: assemble (ctrl-alt-a): assemble code
ct: go to line (ctrl-alt-g): given a line from a generated file, go to its line in the source .ct file
ct: go to parent (ctrl-alt-p): go to parent code-chunk
ct: go to child (ctrl-alt-c): go to child code-chunk
