If an open brace is found, the search continues in a forward direction until a matching close brace is found at the same nest level. If the first brace found is a close brace, the search is performed in the reverse direction until a matching open brace is found at the same nest level. When the matching brace is found, all the text between and including the two braces is selected.<br /> <br /> Brace characters are defined in the active file&#039;s syntax highlighting [[Wordfiles#Brace matching strings|wordfile]]. If no brace characters are specified for the active file&#039;s syntax highlighting, or if the active file is plain text (i.e., not being highlighted by a wordfile), the default open and close brace pairs of &lt;code&gt;(&lt;/code&gt; / &lt;code&gt;)&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;[&lt;/code&gt; / &lt;code&gt;]&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;{&lt;/code&gt; / &lt;code&gt;}&lt;/code&gt; are used.<br /> <br /> Additionally, UltraEdit will automatically highlight a matching brace if the match is in view when the caret is positioned to the right or left of a brace. <br /> <br /> If the file is [[syntax highlighting|syntax highlighted]] as HTML, matching &lt;code&gt;&lt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&gt;&lt;/code&gt; characters will be highlighted also.</div> Idmadmin
