For the first question, I don=E2=80=99t know either.

For the second question,=C2=A0I= =E2=80=99d 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 =E2=80=9Ctasks":[ ] = =C2=A0and save it.

(You have to modify the=C2=A0=C2=A0"texmf-osx-= 64/bin=E2=80=9D=C2=A0path in the following script from your m= achine.

{

= "label": "ConTeXt LuaMetaTeX",

"type": "shell",

            "command&q=
uot;: "export PATH=3D/User=
s/graph/ConTeXtLM/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH;mtxrun --autogenerate --script=
 context --autopdf --purge '${file}'",

            "args": =
[],

            "=
options": {

"cwd": "${fileDirname}"

<= div style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New&qu= ot;,monospace;font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(207,= 207,207)"> "group"= ;: {

                "kind": "b=
uild",

                "isDefault": true

= }

},

When you want to = compile a ConTeXt file, find =E2=80=9Cterminal > Run Build task=E2=80=9D= in the menu,

then =E2=80=9CConTeXt LuaMetaTex=E2=80=9D will pop = up.

Or just use the key =E2=80=9Ccommand-shift-B=E2=80=9D instead= using menu item.

I hope that it may help.

Best wishes,

Dalyoung

Dear Dalyoung,

Thanks! That got me up and running. Maybe this can help others (or = maybe it is well-known):

* Since January, the edit= or supports a global tasks.json file (if I understood=C2=A0htt= ps://stackoverflow.com/questions/41046494/making-global-tasks-in-vs-code=C2=A0correctly). I updated, and indeed, that seems to work.

* I= noticed that valid macros are recognized while typing, even if one has not= used them before. When one starts typing the text is non-bold, and when it= is a known macro it gets bold. That was useful.

Best regards, Mikael
