title: Can azure jupyterlab vscode open Rmd files?
body: <p>Microsoft's Azure <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks" rel="nofollow noreferrer">claims to offer</a> integration with jupyterlab, which I would be quite keen to use (editing code in a browser really starts to irritate one after a while). However, I am using <a href="https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/8" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rmd files</a> in jupyterlab so as to maintain the notebooks in git.</p>
  <p>When I tried to connect to jupyterlab from azure by clicking the &quot;open in vscode&quot; button I just got an editor for the Rmd file itself which didn't seem very helpful.</p>
  <p>Is there a way of using Rmd files in jupyterlab with vscode?  (preferrably without a whole bunch of exporting and importing using e.g. <code>jupytext</code>)</p>
