vscode extension etc

I may have broken some eggs making this omelette but here goes..

I published the vscode extension I was working on to the marketplace
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cmsd2.maxima-notebook

It requires some tools that it should prompt you to download.
Try file new… maxima notebook.

Supports .mac files, notebooks (.macnb), plot* functions (not wx* 
functions),
Also debugging, documentation search, completion etc etc.

I was also working on a package ecosystem.
This isn’t a strict requirement for the extension, but if you do want to 
try it, then the package manager I also made is capable of installing 
nicer documentation for maxima built-in functions that I generated from 
the texinfo files.
https://github.com/cmsd2/maxima-mxpm
mxpm install maxima-core-docs

It’ll put it in ~/.maxima like you’d expect. The extension only bundles 
function signatures, not the html.
The convention I landed on for these packages is to author docs as 
markdown first, then use pandoc to generate the texinfo required by 
maxima if you want ? and ?? To work, but also a bundle that can be 
loaded into user interfaces like the notebook extension which looks for 
it.

Bonus, the markdown can also produce other formats:
