Code auto format (pretty-print) plugin Your perfect editor misses a very important kind of plugin - a configurable pretty-print code formatter that would use some sort of configuration files similar to syntax files for programming languages you have now in EmEditor.
A perfect illustration of idea is Eclipse 3 IDE for Java which permits to autoformat any section of java file with key combination Ctrl+Shift+I on selected section of text. |

Re: Code auto format (pretty-print) plugin Greetings Maxim,
This can be done very easily with a macro if you have a parser or processor that can be run from the Windows command line against a file via your own custom function. For example, you can pass the currently selected text to a function that cleans up the code for whatever default syntax you are using. The hard part will be finding a code-formatter that you can plug into your MyCleanupSyntax function. I am sure there are plenty available for Java-style syntax. |

Re: Code auto format (pretty-print) plugin Thanks, pal. Somehow I missed the possibility of writing macros. I'll experiment.
