Summary

Generate a VSCode extension and LSP server for an Antlr4 grammar.

Description

Generates a Visual Studio Code extension from an Antlr4 grammar. A CSharp target must be available for the grammar as the LSP server is implemented in C#.

After generating the extension/server, proceed to building the extension by changing to the "Generated-vsc/" directory, then running "bash install.sh". The install.sh script performs the build of the C# server, and the TypeScript extension. The script will also create a settings.rc JSON file that describes the syntactic highlighting for the grammar. The script calls an auxilary Python program to examine the grammar for single-character string literals, and using the Unicode category to group these in a common class with a particular color. You can modify the settings.rc file to perform semantic highlighting by adjusting the XPath patterns to match certain parse trees.
