Loading macros and commands in .sty file

[911992]

Hi, thanks for this great extension. Love it.

I have a problem tho.

Recently I placed all my macros and permeable inside a .sty file, and also split my main latex file into smaller ones.

For now I have a macros.sty file, one main tex file(main.tex) which usespackage{macros.sty}, and other tex files like a.tex, b.tex, etc...

The problem is, non of defined macros in macros.sty file is being loaded in auto-complete feature, and it's very hard to just memorize macros, or check between files.

But if I add the macros using \include{macros} (with .tex ext) it's all ok. all macroes are loaded properly in auto-complete stuff.

Is there any fix, or missed setting I can change to force the extension load all macros from all .sty files?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Because .sty files usually use very elaborated TeX constructions, it is almost impossible to parse them reliably without using a TeX compiler. In LaTeX-Workshop, we can only rely on a javascript library to parse files. So, we have decided not to parse .sty files.

There are two solutions

• Extract the macro definitions from your .sty file to a .tex file
• Create a .cwl file listing all the macros defined in your .sty file. See https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/wiki/Intellisense#commands-starting-with- (item 6)
