Clinical Quality Language (CQL) Support in Visual Studio Code

Adds syntax highlighting to CQL files in VSCode. Adapted from the atom_cql_support package for Atom.

How to Install

1. If you don't have Visual Studio Code, download and install it.
2. Clone or copy this repository into your Visual Studio Code extensions folder (see https://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/extensions/install-extension/ for help on finding where this is located on your machine).
3. From Visual Studio Code, check the available extensions. Enable the cql-language extension.

Using the CQL support extension in VSCode

After you've installed the cql-language extension, open any .cql file in VSCode. As long as the file has the .cql extension, syntax highlighting will be automatically applied.

NOTE: Syntax highlighting makes editing and reviewing CQL files easier, but does not validate the technical or syntactic validity of the CQL statements. This package does not flag invalid CQL.
