= ZCubes Syntax Highlighting for VS Code =
This guide will help you install and use the ZCubes syntax highlighting extension in VS Code. You will run it locally using VS Code's Extension Development Host.
== Prerequisites ==

'''Visual Studio Code''' (latest version recommended)
'''Git''' (for cloning the repository)

== Installation Steps ==
=== 1. Clone the Repository ===
[[File:gitexample-syntaxhighlighter.png|thumb]]
First, clone the ZCubes syntax highlighting extension repository to your local machine: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git clone https://github.com/Vishwa18K/z3.git. 
cd zcubes-syntax-highlighting
</syntaxhighlight>
As shown in the screenshot, Be sure to be exact with filename and git links.

=== 2. Open in VS Code ===
Open the extension project in VS Code or alternatively, you can:
Open VS Code
Go to '''File''' → '''Open Folder'''
Select the cloned extension directory
=== 3. Launch Extension Development Host ===
Once the project is open in VS Code:
Press '''F5''' or go to '''Run''' → '''Start Debugging'''
This will open a new VS Code window titled '''Extension Development Host'''
The extension is now active in this development window. (If this does not work click the play button with the 'bug' on it 
and under the drop down menu at the top and make sure it says 'Run extension debugger'. If it's not there then you have to 
manually add the extension debugger. A guide on how to do that can be found [https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/debugger-extension#:~:text=Switch%20to%20the%20Run%20and,create%20a%20default%20launch%20configuration. here]

=== 4. Test the Syntax Highlighting ===
In the Extension Development Host window:
Create a new file with a ZCubes extension:
#* <code>.z3</code> files
#* <code>.zc</code> files
Start typing ZCubes code to see the syntax highlighting in action
Example ZCubes code to test:
<syntaxhighlight lang="zcubes">
PRINT "Hello, ZCubes!"
x = MAGICSQUARE(3)
result = SUM(x)
<script>
// JavaScript code should be highlighted here
console.log("Embedded JavaScript");
</script>
</syntaxhighlight>
