# SWMF configuration file syntax

> This is a Visual Studio Code extension and should be installed from the [VS Code extensions marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svaberg.swmf-grammar)

This extension provides syntax highlighting, outline view, and some code completion for [Space Weather Modelling Framework (SWMF)](http://csem.engin.umich.edu/tools/swmf/) configuration files, such as the BATSRUS `PARAM.in` file. The rules are based on the [SWMF manual](http://csem.engin.umich.edu/tools/swmf/documentation/SWMF.pdf) section 3.2.2.

Automatically highlights files ending in `.in` and `.IN`.
