Build task for VSCode

[cphyc]

Thanks for the amazing tool! I have written a custom task to plug textidote into VS code.
Maybe this would be worth mentionning somewhere on the wiki?

Integrating textidote with vscode was the whole purpose of the singleline output, so it probably doesn't hurt to provide a vscode problem matcher somewhere. The regex is probably also helpful for people using other editors.

I just discovered your project recently (yesterday), and I am looking around for a documentation, and would love to implement textidote into my LaTeX and Markdown workflows in vscode. Could you please elaborate where do I need to add these commands exactly? I would appreciate it.

FYI I discovered this great extension that works for latex and markdown: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=valentjn.vscode-ltex

It does the job quite well and version 5 does not require any external dependency.

@PierreMarchand20 thanks, works amazing. Still, I am also interested in textidote integration...

Thanks! I'll put a link to this thread inside the Readme.
