Settings:Editor display:Formatting

The Editor display » Formatting branch of Settings includes the following options.

Auto indent new lines

This item toggles the state of automatic line indentation. When this setting is enabled, the editor automatically indents a line to match the indentation of the previous line. This option is only active in Insert mode. No auto-indentation will occur in Overstrike mode.

Additionally indenting and unindenting for specific Syntax highlighting types is supported. This provides for additional indenting after a certain character or string to indent a block of code and unindenting after a closing character or string. See the Indent / unindent strings section of the Wordfiles topic.

Auto indent wrapped lines

If this option is selected the editor automatically indents wrapped lines to match the indentation of the previous line. This is visual only; no actual indentation is added to wrapped lines.

Break on hyphen (-) when converting/reformatting paragraphs

This setting determines if the editor should break words at hyphens when running Reformat paragraph. The default is for the editor to break lines at hyphens. Uncheck this setting to avoid breaking lines at a hyphen.

Reformat paragraph after paste when wrap settings set to add hard returns at specific column number

This setting forces the editor to automatically reformat a paragraph after a paste command if the Settings » Editor » Word wrap / tab settings are set to wrap at a specific column number with the insertion of hard returns (CR/LF). This is the default behavior and not selecting this option will disable this functionality.

Do not convert spaces and tabs inside comments and strings

If this option is selected, spaces and tabs inside comments and strings (as defined in the associated wordfile) will not be converted by formatting operations in the Format tab.
