Description
Since R2025a, the official release now fully supports the Live Code File Format (.m) as a replacement for the default binary Live Code file format (.mlx). Since mlx has not yet been supported for use in VS Code(#71 ), it is time to support rendering of the Live Code File Format (.m) so that it looks as good as mlx, pleasing to the eye, and intuitive visually.
