Formatting

The Format menu provides options for formatting currently selected text and/or lines. Note that commands in the Format menu are dependent on the language syntax of the current file. For example using the Format→Comment Selection function will result in different output if an HTML file is selected vs. a JavaScript file.

Plugins can also affect formatting commands. If the XML pretty print plugin is active, for example, it takes over several of the formatting commands.

Formatting settings can be controlled in Tools->Options->Formatting.
