Latex-workshop: Output directory config not respected
Hi,
I have set my outputDir config option to the following:
"latex-workshop.latex.outputDir": "./build/"
However, the temporary files and the output .pdf still appear in the same directory as the root file, and it clutters everything. Am I missing something there? I am running vscode on Archlinux, for what it's worth.

This only specifies the folder where vscode should look for the generated files. You need to use latex commands to redirect your latex workflow.

Then the documentation of the option should be updated, because it is a bit ambiguous as it is.
That being said, it would be nice to be able to specify a build folder more easily. If one has to tweak latexmk's options to do it, I suggest documenting the proper way to do it in the extension's README.
