Description
I'm super happy that .rng support has been added to this extension! This has been an immense improvement for working with TEI XML files.
Another thing that would be really nice for the TEI ecosystem would be if you could add support for .odd files:
.odd is a file extension commonly used in the context of TEI, see e.g. here.
ODD documents are simply XML (TEI XML to be precise), see an example here.
The only issue issue is that when opening a .odd file, VSCode doesn't know that it's XML and the XML extension doesn't get kicked off.
I'm assuming this wouldn't require anything more than adding .odd to the list of files that should be handled by the extension. So hopefully not much work to implement - but it would provide quite a lot of value to the people working with ODD files.
