OM2 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can someone tell me what editors line up braces for you I hate: if() { // code } I like: if() { } I came across one editor that did exactly this! Sods law: I've forgotten the name of it!

dennismonsewicz Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 both should have the capability. if they don't do what you are looking for I would just mess around in the options and find what you are looking for.

OM2 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 well... i see what u mean... they do have brace matching i.e. if u highlight one brace, then i t will automatically colour the matching brace thats great and very very useful what i wanted though was something that would go round and tidy up ALL the code! and line up braces as u want them i just can't remember what it was called!! i know of at least one editor that does this it was something like phpeditor 2008 or somethin does anything like that name ring a bell for anyone? thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149176-need-an-editor-that-automatically-lines-up-braces/#findComment-783345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This thread is in the wrong board and the subject has already been covered in the proper board. Take a look at the very first sticky in the Misc board.
