How to read the Documentation

[blueray453]

I am trying to learn extension development by reading other people's code.

I am getting stuff like context.subscriptions, context, vscode.window.activeTextEditor, extensionPath, createWebviewPanel etc. (A lot of stuff.)

I am trying to read their documentation.

If I paste the into https://code.visualstudio.com/api, it does not give any results.

I want to understand how can I find the functions.

I am used to using docs like https://devdocs.io/

Is there any similar way to see documentation all functions and classes, search them, filter them etc.

If not, is there any API for vscode extension api websites. If so, hopefully i can doc site.

So, my questions are

• How do you look at the documentation (search, filter etc)
• Is there any API (probabilly the one https://code.visualstudio.com/api uses) i can use to create my own documentation site (add the features myself).
• What is the pipeline for generating documentation from source code located in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode. I am asking this because sometimes doc is generated using jsdoc. If it is so then I can use that json to work with.

for those specific functions check https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api. I don't really use the search feature of the website. I don't know how well it works.

The public documentation repository is found here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs.
