    // Place your snippets for markdown here. Each snippet is defined under a snippet name and has a prefix, body and 
    // description. The prefix is what is used to trigger the snippet and the body will be expanded and inserted. Possible variables are:
    // $1, $2 for tab stops, $0 for the final cursor position, and ${1:label}, ${2:another} for placeholders. Placeholders with the 
    // same ids are connected.
    // Example:
    // "Print to console": {
    // 	"prefix": "log",
    // 	"body": [
    // 		"console.log('$1');",
    // 		"$2"
    // 	],
    // 	"description": "Log output to console"
    // }
