/**
 * @page smetio SMET
 * @section template_format Format
 * The Station METeo data files is a station centered, ascii file format that has been designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind. Please refer to its <a href="../SMET_specifications.pdf">official format specification</a> for more information.
 *
 * @section template_units Units
 * All units are MKSA, the only exception being the precipitations that are in mm/h. It is however possible to use  multipliers and offsets (but they must be specified in the file header).
 *
 * @section template_keywords Keywords
 * This plugin uses the following keywords:
 * - METEOFILE#: input filename and path. As many meteofiles as needed may be specified
 * - METEOPATH: output directory where to write the output meteofiles
 * - METEOPARAM: output file format options (ASCII or BINARY that might be followed by GZIP)
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
 * [Input]
 * METEOFILE1 = ./input/uppper_station.smet
 * METEOFILE2 = ./input/lower_station.smet
 * METEOFILE3 = ./input/outlet_station.smet
 * [Output]
 * METEOPATH = ./output
 * METEOPARAM = ASCII GZIP
 * @endcode
