Extending "COMMON-LISP-symbols.csv" with own functions and URLs to Documentation

[vigh1000]

Hi there, I'm posting this here because I don't think it's an "Issue" or Feature Request, but rather a question how to do it.

I wanted to expand the "COMMON-LISP-symbols.csv" with my own functions and a URL to the corresponding documentation. So that a tooltip appears and I can just click on the link. This doesn't seem to work though. Is the .csv just some kind of "output"? And is there a way to do this the correct way?

I was able to expand .\syntaxes\commonlisp.tmLanguage.json with another function so it gets highlighted and add it to \dist\web\extension.js so the function appears in code completion. This didn't feel quite right to do though, but it works :D

Also it really is nice to expand .\snippets\commonlisp_snippets.json with my own snippets!

Unfortunately, the csv file is only a crawling result so it is just not related to the extension app.

The processed data is at ./src/web/cl_data. The data is just {symbol_name: markdown_string_doc}. The real interface of the data is at ./src/web/doc/get_doc.ts. If you would like to add more things about tooptip, just check ./src/web/provider_interface/providers/hover_provider.ts.

For adding a vscode provider, see https://github.com/qingpeng9802/vscode-common-lisp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#development. If you just need it without an option, you can skip the steps and directly register the provider here ./src/web/extension.ts.

For simple cases, modifying commonlisp.tmLanguage.json is the right way. Code completion is slightly complicated, but it is almost the same as hover.
