Is there a palette command in Julia in VS Code to `weave` and `tange` the current document? Or should one always run a script like this one?

```julia
using Weave
filename = normpath("./", "file.jmd")
weave(filename; doctype="md2pdf", out_path="./")
tangle(filename; out_path="./")

```

There is support for weave: [Julia Markdown Documents · Julia in VS Code](https://www.julia-vscode.org/docs/stable/userguide/weave/)

I’m afraid in the docs I cannot find anything about weaving and tangling from the UI.

Second paragraph in the link I posted mentions the two commands to weave a markdown file. Beyond that there is no UI support.
