Indenting

None

When this option is selected, new lines are not indented. The insertion point is placed in the first column of a new line.

Block

When this option is selected, new lines are automatically indented. The insertion point is placed at the same starting point as the preceding line.

Smart

This option is not available.

Tab

Tab size

Sets the distance between tab stops. The default is four spaces.

Indent size

Sets the size, in spaces, of automatic indentation. The default is four spaces. Tab characters, space characters, or both will be inserted to fill the specified size.

Insert spaces

When this option is selected, indent operations insert only space characters, not tab characters. If the Indent size is set to 5, for example, five spaces are inserted when you either press the TAB key or click the Increase Indent button on the Formatting toolbar.

Keep tabs

When this option is selected, indent operations insert as many tab characters as possible. Each tab character fills the number of spaces specified in Tab size. If the Indent size is not an even multiple of the Tab size, space characters are added to fill in the difference.
