Dear Mikael,

2) Is there a nice way to compile the tex file from

within vs code? As of
now, I opened a terminal and compiled from that, but that feels like the
wrong way of doing it.

For the first question, I don’t know either.

For the second question, I’d like to explain what I did for compiling TeX file in vscode.

Since I use vscode in MacOsX, you may find your way in Linux.

There is a tasks.json file in .vscode folder.

I added the following script in the “tasks":[ ]  and save it.

(You have to modify the  "texmf-osx-64/bin” path in the following script from your machine.

{

"label": "ConTeXt LuaMetaTeX",

"type": "shell",

"command": "export PATH=/Users/graph/ConTeXtLM/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH;mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf --purge '${file}'",

"args": [],

"options": {

"cwd": "${fileDirname}"

},

"group": {

"kind": "build",

"isDefault": true

}

},

When you want to compile a ConTeXt file, find “terminal > Run Build task” in the menu,

then “ConTeXt LuaMetaTex” will pop up.

Or just use the key “command-shift-B” instead using menu item.

I hope that it may help.

Best wishes,

Dalyoung
