If you are going to work on the viewer code you need to conform to the Coding Standard. Standards your editor must support:
- Lines must end with a
LF(linefeed) character. - A tab must generate 4 spaces.
Notepad++
Configuring Notepad++ (download Notepad++)
- Line ending
- You should not need to specify the line ending for an existing file but for a new file you will want to set Edit > EOL Conversion > UNIX Format
- Tab spacing
- Go to Settings > Preferences > Language Menu/Tab Settings.
- Click on Default
- Change Tab Size to
4 - Check the box Replace by space
- Note: if you are going to be using the program as a general editor you can customize which file types this tab to space conversion applies to.
