Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
It seems like the extension guide for webview is outdated, it uses "typescript": "^2.8.3" and the deprecated vscode package instead of "@types/vscode": "^1.73.0" and so on. It also just didn't work for me.
The vscode-extension-samples has a version that seems more up to date: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/main/webview-sample
Could the guide be updated to reflect these changes?
