 ## Snippets for working in VS Code
-I compiled a few useful editor snippets to work with this boilerplate in VS Code.
+I compiled the abovementioned "conventions" from this boilerplate to a set of snippets for Visual Studio Code to faciliate the use of this boilerplate within that editor.
+There are snippets available for both LaTex documents and BibTex library files.
+As they're bundled in this repo (`.vscode/*.code-snippets`), you should be able to use them right away.
 
-See [VS Code: LaTex-Snippets](https://gitlab.com/snippets/1729310) for more.
+**(!)** Please note:
+* Repo-level snippets are [only supported starting with VS Code 1.28 (September 2018)](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_28#_project-level-snippets).
+* Editing LaTex projects in VS Code requires the [LaTex Workshop Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=James-Yu.latex-workshop).
