Description
I do appreciate the oneAPI, and I'm trying to start using it following this tutorial:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi/user-guide-vs-code/2023-1/developing-a-visual-studio-code-project.html
The issue is on Windows none of the oneAPI VS Code tasks can be used besides "Intel oneAPI: Initialize environment variables"
The README in the example projects instruct the user to configure and build the project on the command line, which somewhat defeats the purpose of using the oneAPI VS Code extensions.
Could you put a clear warning of what is and isn't implemented so the user doesn't have to figure it out through trial and error?

Research direction
Start with the linked oneAPI Visual Studio Code tutorial and the README files in the example projects, checking which Windows tasks are available beyond environment initialization. Update the relevant documentation with a clear warning about implemented and unavailable tasks; done means users can understand the limitation without trial and error.
