Frequently Asked Questions
- Ensure that you have all the [[recommended-extensions]] installed in Visual Studio Code
Principles
- **Foam is open for contributions.** If you use a tool or workflow that you like that fits these principles, please contribute them back to the Foam template as [[recipes]], [[recommended-extensions]] or documentation in [this workspace](https://github.com/foambubble/foam). See also: [[contribution-guide]].
Foam
1. The editing experience of **Foam** is powered by VS Code, enhanced by workspace settings that glue together [[recommended-extensions]] and preferences optimised for writing and navigating information.
Foam
**Foam** doesn't have features in the traditional sense. Out of the box, you have access to all features of VS Code and all the [[recommended-extensions]] you choose to install, but it's up to you to discover what you can do with it!
Foam
**Foam** wouldn't be possible without [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and [GitHub](https://github.com/), and relies heavily on our fantastic open source [[recommended-extensions]] and all their contributors!
Architecture
- All other [[recommended-extensions]] live in their respective GitHub repos.
How to Write Recipes
Ideally, you should also note which Foam [[recommended-extensions]] are responsible for providing this feature, so any issue reports can be directed to the correct repositories.
