Extension Options Dialog

If Maximum right column is used, comment lines will be wrapped when they reach the specified column, even if they have not reached the specified fixed width. This is useful if coding standards mandate that text should not exceed a specified column.

•Fixed right margin - If selected, lines will break before the specified number of columns in the Right column field has been reached.

•Preserve width on existing comments - If selected, when editing an existing comment, SlickEdit® Core preserves the width of the existing comment. The width is determined by the length of the longest multi-line paragraph. If the width of the existing comment cannot be determined, the format- ting option specified under Comment width will be used instead.

•Continue bullet list on Enter - If selected, when Enter is pressed inside a bulleted paragraph, a new bullet will be inserted and the cursor will be placed at the text starting position.

•Javadoc - If Use hanging indent on block tag comments is selected, the second line of a block tag comment will be automatically aligned to the first non-whitespace character after the first word after the tag.

•Sync vertical line column - This button will make visible and move the vertical line column to match the hard margin column (if using fixed right column margins) or the maximum right column (if using fixed width).
