Just try the ET java demo. One tab character can do indentation and one tab character can do alignment (eg: comments after code). No matter the developers indent/alignment preference, everybody's code will look they way they like it. Another awesome thing which your method of alignment fails miserably (using spaces). If the code text becomes longer, you need to re-align all the other comments. ET does this all automatically (without the need for extra tab characters) - just keep coding. This is all visible in the small java ET demo (but remember the small java demo is not tuned for performance with large files - the gEdit plugin is much faster). -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
