VS-for-McStas README

VS-for-McStas is a VS Code extension that serves as both a syntax highlighter, component snippet writer, language server and auto formatter for .instr and .comp files.

The component snippet writer is only available if you have an installation of mcstas available through conda. If you do have mcstas available through conda and it does not show up, please submit an issue on the Githup Repository.

In general, if you have any problems, desires for improvements etc. add an issue or your own fix on the Github Repository!
