Extension Settings

Configurations

Custom file extensions

You can define custom file extensions in your settings.json. These file extensions allow the plugin to look at more than just markdown files for the tag system.

Here's an example settings.json file.

{
  "vscode-nested-tags.additionalFileTypes": ["tex", "html"]
}

Now all .tex and .html files till be watched alongside .md files.
