## A brief explanation on the source code structure
This repository contains source code only for Monaco Editor Languages, the core editor source lives in the [vscode repository](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode).
| repository | npm module | explanation |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [vscode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) | [monaco-editor-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/monaco-editor-core) | editor core functionality (language agnostic) is shipped out of vscode. |
| [monaco-editor](https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor) | [monaco-editor](https://www.npmjs.com/package/monaco-editor) | the Monaco Editor. |
## Contributing a new tokenizer / a new language
Please understand that we only bundle languages with the monaco editor that have a significant relevance (for example, those that have an article in Wikipedia).
- create `$/src/basic-languages/{myLang}/{myLang}.contribution.ts`
- create `$/src/basic-languages/{myLang}/{myLang}.ts`
- create `$/src/basic-languages/{myLang}/{myLang}.test.ts`
- edit `$/src/basic-languages/monaco.contribution.ts` and register your new language
- create `$/website/index/samples/sample.{myLang}.txt`
```js
import './{myLang}/{myLang}.contribution';
```
