This package adds syntax highlighting, code folding, formatting, linting, code suggestions,

and snippets for [Stan](https://mc-stan.org) files in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).

Use another editor? Check out the Stan Language Server which powers most of the features in this extension:

https://github.com/tomatitito/stan-language-server

You can try it out online on [vscode.dev](https://vscode.dev/github/WardBrian/vscode-stan-extension). A popup will show in

the bottom right recommending you install the extension. Once you have, you can open the files in the `demo/` folder.

you can get some language-server features like go-to-definition and find-references when

using this extension.

## Credits

This is a fork of the original [stan-vscode by ivan-bocharov](https://github.com/ivan-bocharov/stan-vscode).

The grammar was originally converted from the [atom-language-stan](https://github.com/jrnold/atom-language-stan) Stan package. The grammar has since been updated to support Stan v2.35.
