Edit glossary files on server

[ageorgou]

Will require some authentication. See also using VS code over SSH.

Using the above mentioned extension, we can edit glossary files in an easy way without needing anything extra from us. We may want to document the workflow, and perhaps require the extension when installing Nisaba, but apart from that there is nothing else we need to do to.

For the record, in order to add a dependency on the Remote - SSH extension we need to list it under extensionDependencies in the package.json file.

For example:

diff --git a/package.json b/package.json
index 62e33b8..253659e 100644
--- a/package.json
+++ b/package.json

-    }
+    },
+    "extensionDependencies": [
+        "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh"
+    ]
 }

and this will appear in the "Dependencies" tab of info page of the Nisaba extension:

I can make a PR with the above change if this looks good.

Looks good, should we add it now or wait until we use it more extensively (or add some instructions for setting up the connection to the server)?

There has been some work on glossary files in

• Add basic syntax highlighting for glossary files #105
• Show outline of letters and entries in glossary files #116
• Add documentation for glossaries and remote files #123
• Allow entries in glossaries to not be under a @letter #124

I think the first big chunk of work on glossary files has been done. There is ongoing work in #108 for #11. However by re-reading the conversation above I think we may still want to make Remote - SSH a dependency of this package, I'll open a separate ticket for that, and close this one.
