I tried the following code from the document.

```nohighlight
(weave) pkg> st
Status `~/Work/weave/Project.toml`
  [717857b8] DSP v0.6.6
  [91a5bcdd] Plots v1.2.0
  [44d3d7a6] Weave v0.9.4

julia> using Weave

julia> weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"),
         out_path=:pwd,
         doctype = "md2html")
[ Info: Weaving chunk 1 from line 42
[Info: Precompiling Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80]
WARNING: replacing module WeavePlots.
[ Info: Weaving chunk 2 from line 71
[ Info: Weaving chunk 3 from line 83
[ Info: Weaving chunk 4 from line 88

```

And it stops at line 88 for a few minutes until I ran out of patience. Anyone suggestions?

See [here](https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/436) for a walk around.

In the VSC no REPL is necessary

1. You can load your.JMD-file.
2. Open the VSC-Command palette with CTRL+SHIFT+P
3. Let VSC generate a preview or whatever you want.
