🏡 Welcome to the "BMC TPL Code All around" Wiki
Welcome to the official wiki of the BMC TPL Code All around extension for Visual Studio Code.
This project aims to bring the writing of BMC Helix Discovery TPL (Template Language) scripts out of the era of simple text editors and transform VS Code into a fully-fledged, intelligent Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
This wiki serves as a central hub for users who want to get the most out of the extension, as well as documentation for the ongoing development and architecture of the code.
