Atom Package for EnergyPlus
Archiving Atom for an Official Sunset
Atom is a free and hackable text editor from GitHub. It is hackable because anyone can develop a package in order to highlight, manipulate and perform various other tasks for a given file type while working in Atom. This package was developed to improve workflow processes for working in EnergyPlus and Modelkit files.
Please note that Atom and its packages have been archived for an official sunset by GitHub. As such, you will only be able to use this package if you already have Atom installed.
Features
- Syntax highlighting for EnergyPlus object classes, numeric input fields, text input fields, and comments
