Feature Suggestions ⇒ indented paragraphs

[naclador]

When I write my LaTeX code, I try to get some order into it by indenting my text one tabulator width every time I start a new environment, like

Code: Select all

\begin{itemize}
   \begin{enumerate}
      Here my text...
      ...and more text...
   \end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}

This is a dumb example but you'll see my point.

Now it would be just great if TexnicCenter would start the "and more text" line directly under the "Here my text"-line when breaking the line because it is longer than the width of the editor window. As it is now, it will look like

Code: Select all

\begin{itemize}
   \begin{enumerate}
      Here my text...
...and more text...
   \end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}

which basically destoys the orderly look I intended and makes the LaTeX source somewhat difficult to read.

Well,

I am not quite sure and do not care installing an alpha version of TXC, but is it possible that what I am looking for is the "Code Folding" feature discussed elsewhere?

Doubtful. Code folding involves completely hiding some part of the document from view so you can focus on other parts, such as, e.g., hiding the preamble altogether, or hiding all sections other than the one you're working on. See code folding (Wikipedia).

Ah, I see.

So, what do you think about my suggestion?

Noone willing to post a reply?

Don't you see my point, or do you think it is a stupid suggestion?

As far as I know TeXnicCenter (TXC) is based on Scintilla as editor component. And if this component doesn't master the indentation you mean, you are out of luck.

Kile on Linux is based on the Kate editor. And this editor manages indentation as described (see attachment).

Thanks localghost.

What a pity, I truly would have appreciated such a feature in TXC 2. Kile is no option for me since I mainly work on Windows machines.
