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.

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.

	mysyntax   = document.ConfigName;

	mycode     =   document.selection.Text;

	myresult    =   MyCleanupSyntax(mysyntax,mycode);

	document.selection.Text = myresult;

	

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.

Thanks, pal. Somehow I missed the possibility of writing macros. I’ll experiment.
