Svg Preview for VSCode

demo

<!-- TODO better demo gif --> <!-- TODO need to figure out why animation is restarted so often / prevent unnecessary updates --> <!-- TODO update content when just opened / handle active text editor before extension is activated--> <!-- TODO vscode live share --> <!-- TODO don't zoom/pan outside of the window --> <!-- TODO improve external css --> <!-- TODO add tests --> <!-- TODO bug with commented out </svg> inside html/js etc --> <!-- TODO sometimes buggy when new version is installed --> <!-- TODO bug: when deleted file and open another file, preview is not updated --> <!-- TODO feature idea: zoom with ctrl+arrow key up/down --> <!-- TODO bug: no reset preview icon when only preview is open --> <!-- TODO doesn't work with emmet:increment (only works when cursor is moved afterwards) --> <!-- TODO thinner icons (because of new vscode icons) --> <!-- TODO infinite zoom --> <!-- TODO still open a new tab when the tab is left and hidden --> <!-- TODO fix themify icons --> <!-- TODO always scaleToFit --> <!-- TODO rename style.body to style.html or vice versa (currently the setting is names style.html but in the code it is referred to as style.body) -->
