Use markdown file and Fenced Code Blocks to store all snippets. Example:

```javascript,typescript prefix1,prefix2 name description
console.log($0);
```
demo_of_markdown_file

Use spaces for indentation in the snippets.md file (not tabs).

Snippet parts can be omitted by using underscore sign _.

There is autocomplete for variables such as TM_SELECTED_TEXT, but it doesn't auto show inside the code block (need to trigger suggest editor.action.triggerSuggest Ctrl+Space).
