Description

I wonder if it is in the scope of this package to provide completions for roxygen tags (#60) and R markdown chunk options (#424)? They are not part of the R language but widely adopted in R package development and R markdown.

vscode-R already provides both by implementing completion providers that match given patterns and provide a hard-coded provided list of completion items in both scenarios.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing completion providers in vscode-R and how they match roxygen tags and R Markdown chunk options. Identify the corresponding completion entry points in this language server and compare the supported hard-coded completion items. Done means both contexts provide useful completions with behavior covered by appropriate tests.
