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.

- 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.
