SciTE indentation settings - how to make it indent within #Region..#EndRegion

I have been making an effort to keep my scripts as readable as I can, especially since it became clear to me how it otherwise becomes very tricky to maintain a longer script, and extensive use of Regions has been a bigger part of that.

SciTE4Autoit3 is great at highlighting different parts of code and so on, and I make heavy usage of the "Tidy" function, which saves a lot of time when it comes to Indentation inside Functions and (also nested) If...EndIf, While...Wend and similar statements.

What it seems not intended to do (by default?), is to also apply Indentation within #Region...#EndRegion markings - which is what I would like it to do now.

Whenever I do this myself, and then "Tidy" my code, this is undone.

Maybe there is a setting somewhere, or a workaround? I´ve only found the "Options"-->"Change Indentation Settings" Menu where Tab Size and Indent Size can be set...

Are you sure you want to indent within Region statements, as that would indent everything in between them. I would think it would make the code harder to read rather than neater. 

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

::Shameless Plug::

If you download SciTE Customization GUI found in my signature then you'll have all of the Tidy options that I know about available in one easy to use GUI.

I do agree with water, but you should try it for yourself before you make a judgement call.

guestscripter,

Add region_indent=1 to your Tidy.ini or add the /Region_Indent (or /ri) parameter to a #Tidy_Parameters directive in the script. I use it all the time. :)

Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to completely rewrite the SciTE4Autoit3 Help file last year - you can find all this via the <Help - SciTE Help - Extra Utilities - Tidy> menu option. :whistle:
