Code Style

Common code style settings for both LaTeX and BibTeX

These settings are available for both LaTeX and BibTeX.

Indent size

Change the number of spaces to indent with in the Tabs and Indents tab.

Option to hard wrap LaTeX and BibTeX files

These options are in the Wrapping tab.

Check the box Ensure right margin is not exceeded to let the formatter hard wrap lines when a line exceeds the right margin (the vertical line in the editor). Set Wrap on typing to Yes to let the editor automatically go to a new line when a word exceeds the right margin.

LaTeX specific code style settings

These settings are only available for LaTeX.

Line comment at first column

This setting is in the Code Generation tab.

Press Ctrl + / to turn a line into a comment. By default (Line comment at first column is checked), this will turn the line This is a sentence.

\begin{center}
    Normal text.
    This is a sentence.
\end{center}

into the comment

\begin{center}
    Normal text
%    This is a sentence.
\end{center}

Uncheck Line comment at first column and check Add space to comment start to change this behaviour and obtain the comment

\begin{center}
    Normal text.
    % This is a sentence.
\end{center}

Note that this only changes the behaviour when generating a comment with Ctrl + /, and that this setting has no influence on the formatting of comments.

Specify number of blank lines before sectioning commands

These settings are in the Blank Lines tab.

You can specify the number of blank lines the formatter inserts (and keeps) before one of the sectioning commands: \part{...}, \chapter{...}, \section{...}, \subsection{...}, \subsubsection{...}, \paragraph{...}, and \subparagraph{...}.

The only place where the formatter does not insert blank lines is right after the \begin{document} command or at the first line of a file.

Indent text in sections

When enabled, text inside sections, subsections, etc. will be indented. As an example,

\section{The End}
Observations might be touched to their complex easily.
\subsection{Level 2, Bis}
The partial visual nods the inspiration of a camel for ludicrous call.
        \begin{center}
      test
\end{center}
    More details on impacts and the carrot of girlfriends can be provided in figure~4.
  \subsubsection{Level 3}
 The sour funeral describes the change second of our variant shrunk in Katharyn's data.
 \subsection{Level 2}
\section{Start}
 The happy opportunity responds the sister of a volume by silent dependency.

will be reformatted as

\section{The End}
    Observations might be touched to their complex easily.

    \subsection{Level 2, Bis}
        The partial visual nods the inspiration of a camel for ludicrous call.
        \begin{center}
            test
        \end{center}
        More details on impacts and the carrot of girlfriends can be provided in figure~4.

        \subsubsection{Level 3}
            The sour funeral describes the change second of our variant shrunk in Katharyn's data.

    \subsection{Level 2}


\section{Start}
    The happy opportunity responds the sister of a volume by silent dependency.

Indent document environment

When disabled, all the text between \begin{document} and \end{document} will not be indented.
