The

Language support for The (.the, .then).

Features

• syntax highlighting for PAGEs, PROCs, ITERs, operations, values, and comments;
• folding and indentation for PAGE/PROC/ITER/IF/LOOP regions;
• bracket pairing for (), [], and {};
• | line comments and || block comments;
• highlighting for the .. visual line continuation;
• a the-lint problem matcher for native linter diagnostics.

Linter

The Windows x64 package includes bin/win32-x64/the-lint.exe. Configure a VS Code task with:

{
  "label": "Lint The",
  "type": "process",
  "command": "${extensionInstallFolder:the-language.the-official-language}/bin/win32-x64/the-lint.exe",
  "args": ["${file}"],
  "problemMatcher": "$the-lint"
}

The extension contains no extension-host runtime code. Language presentation is declarative; linting remains in the native C tool.
