Research direction

Start with generators/app/templates/ext-language/syntaxes/new.tmLanguage.json and compare its external schema link with the referenced martinring/tmlanguage.json. Determine whether the schema should be included in this repository, then verify that generated syntax-highlighter files use the intended schema reference and that downstream users are no longer exposed to an unnecessary external dependency.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The generator template links to a json schema outside the project (by the github user martinring, here) -- if the schema is a good thing to include, could it perhaps be inlined into this repository? Otherwise if that file is removed or changed, it has an impact on downstream users; and also the legitimacy of the schema is easier to assess when that link is found in a syntax highlighter.
